• Avoid keeping the soil constantly wet.

Soil

Benefits

• Attractive foliage year-round.
• Low-maintenance and beginner-friendly.

Common Problems

Fertilizer

• Feed with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer once a month during spring and summer.

Note: Aglaonema plants are toxic to cats and dogs if chewed or ingested, so keep them out of reach of pets.

If you’re choosing between Aglaonema Green, Silver Yucca, and a dwarf Snake Plant, Aglaonema is generally the best option for indoor areas with moderate or low light, while Yucca and Snake Plant prefer brighter conditions and drier soil.
