Aglaonema Silver Blue
Aglaonema Silver Blue
Aglaonema ‘Silver Blue’ is an elegant foliage plant with silvery-blue, lance-shaped leaves edged in darker green. Ideal for low–medium indoor light and known for tidy, clumping growth.
Light
Aglaonema Silver Blue prefers low to medium indirect light conditions. Direct sunlight can scorch its leaves, so it’s best to place it in a spot where it receives filtered light.
Watering
Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Depending on your environment, this may require watering every 1 to 2 weeks. It is crucial to avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Always ensure proper drainage in the pot.
Humidity
This plant thrives in higher humidity levels. Ideally, humidity should be between 50% and 70%. If your home is dry, consider using a pebble tray with water or a humidifier to maintain adequate moisture in the air.
Temperature
Aglaonema Silver Blue prefers temperatures between 18°C and 24°C. Avoid exposing it to temperatures below 10°C, as this can stress the plant and inhibit growth.
Soil
Use a well-draining potting mix that retains some moisture while allowing excess water to escape. A mix designed for houseplants, or one that includes peat, perlite, and pine bark, is often suitable.
Fertilising
During the growing season (spring and summer), feed the plant with a balanced liquid fertiliser every 4-6 weeks. Reduce or stop fertilising during the fall and winter months when the plant's growth slows down.
