Agalaonema

Aglaonemas use up a lot of water. So be sure to water them every 1-2 weeks and do so until you see water leaving the drainage holes.

If you want more hair growth, shave it first, they say! And so we do! Prune your aglaonemas and they will return the favour by growing faster and fuller.

Aglaonemas prefer enriched and slightly acidic soil. Take equal parts of perlite, sand, peat, and general-purpose potting mix for these houseplants.

These slow growing beauties are great indoor plants since they dont like full sun exposure. Indirect light or shade is best for these beauties. 

Drooping leaves are a sign of poor watering or insufficient lighting. If the leaves are wilting and seem weak, it could be insufficient lighting. If the leaves start to curl up, it means the plant is over exposed.

Mix equal parts of milk and water and use the mixture to wipe the plant leaves with a gauze or soft cloth. Voila! You have shiny leaves.

Keep the leaves clean. Water carefully, keep an eye on the temperature, feed them right, and make sure it is in an adequate pot. Correct lighting, not overexposed nor too little. Either way the colours will fade.
