Planting:
Aglaonema is considered one of the easiest house plants to grow, it is rather versatile, as it can be grown in pretty much the darkest, driest conditions and it will still flourish beautifully. It can go weeks without watering and be limited in light exposure and it will continue to thrive. So, even if you go on trips for few days, no worries.
In rainforests these plants grow beneath the leaf canopy. That means in natural space it receives indirect sunlight. These plants can do well in very low light conditions. However, if the plant is exposed to direct sunlight, it will scorch the leaves.
The best temperatures for your aglaonema suzy plant are 65-80 degrees F. Warm and humid conditions help the plant to survive. The aglaonema suzy may be damaged if they are placed in areas that will experience extreme temperature changes like near heaters, windows that receive a lot of sun or cold breeze, and air conditioners.
Maintenance:
Light:
Aglaonema Suzy prefers indirect bright light. It can adapt to low light, but the growth will slow considerably. Direct morning sunlight is fine for this plant, but avoid direct afternoon sunlight which can burn the leaves.
Use a Grow Light if you don’t have a suitable location for your Aglaonema. If the pink coloration on your Aglaonema starts to fade, try moving it to a brighter, indirect light location.
Water:
Water your Aglaonema when 50% of the soil volume is dry. Water until liquid flows through the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot and discard any water that has accumulated in the saucer.
Soil:
The best soil type for the Chinese evergreen to develop is houseplant soil with perlite, but any properly-draining peat-based mix will suffice. Aglaonema growers should use slightly acidic soil with a 5.6-6.5. Keep the soil of your Aglaonema pink plant just hydrated but not wet.
Pruning:
The Chinese evergreen lets you prune it into any shape you like or leave the aglaonema to grow naturally which is a pleasure to look at. You can also train the plant to grow horizontally instead of vertically. Use the pruning scissors, trim the leaves at the top and leave the ones at the bottom to grow outward. Eventually, the plant will spread out take the shape you prefer. The aglaonema suzy plant can grow up to 2 feet tall and wide, growing 8-inch long leaves with a 4-inch wind span. These types of plants tend to grow at a slower rate so it will take a few years for them to reach their full growth potential under any climate conditions.
Propagation:
- Using stem cuttings is the most popular and the easiest way to propagate these plants by a beginner. Choose an old plant stem or new shoot with few leaves and plant them in a new soil and place the pot under room temperature and under indirect sunlight. Expect new shoots to emerge from cuttings in about 25 to 45 days.
- Use fresh seeds and spread them on prepared seed germination soil mix or coco-peat mix. It takes up to 45 or even 60 days for seeds to germinate.
- Using root cuttings is the safest method for assuring success, but to be done carefully. A plant is separated from the mother plant with roots and planted in a new container and kept in indirect sunlight. The new plant should build its own roots quickly, in about 5 to 10 days.
- Using tissue culture method of propagation is ideal for situations in which you need to produce large number of Aglaonema seedlings in quick time for mass production. New seedlings are produced using a small part of the original plant, such as root, stem, or leaves using tissue culture in a lab type environment. Seedlings are later slowly introduced to natural weather conditions. Plants tend to go slowly in this process, but it is still the most effective way to produce a large number of strong plants.
