Shrub Aglaonema Commutatum, Type 3, Clump, 1.5L, 40-60CM

Aglaonema commutatum, commonly called Chinese evergreen, is an evergreen lasting that for the most part takes after dieffenbachia (imbecilic cane) in appearance. It ordinarily develops to 20” tall. Thick, elliptic to lance-shaped, dim green takes off (to 4-8” long and 2-3” wide) with alluring silver-gray blotches on erect, in some cases branched stems. As a houseplant, it once in a while blooms. Each axillary blossom (commonplace arum family) highlights a little velvety white spadix encased by a pale green spathe, ordinarily in late summer to early drop. Clusters of ruddy berries take after the blossoms. 

Caring for Aglaonema commutatum, commonly known as the Chinese Evergreen, involves providing the right balance of light, water, and other care elements. Here’s how to keep your Aglaonema healthy and thriving:

1. Light
Low to Bright, Indirect Light: Aglaonema commutatum is adaptable to a range of light conditions, from low to bright, indirect light. It prefers indirect light, as direct sunlight can scorch its leaves. It's ideal for offices or rooms with less natural light.
2. Watering
Moderate Watering: Water the plant when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. It prefers consistently moist soil but should not be waterlogged. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure the pot has good drainage.
Reduce Watering in Winter: During the winter months, water less frequently, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings.
3. Humidity
Average to High Humidity: Aglaonema enjoys higher humidity but can tolerate average household humidity. To increase humidity, mist the leaves occasionally, especially in dry environments or during winter.
4. Temperature
Warm Temperatures: Keep the plant in a warm environment, ideally between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Protect it from cold drafts, sudden temperature changes, and temperatures below 60°F (15°C), which can damage the plant.
5. Soil
Well-Draining Soil: Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix. A mix of potting soil with perlite or sand works well to prevent water retention and root rot.
6. Fertilization
Regular Feeding: Fertilize every 6-8 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength. Avoid fertilizing in winter when the plant's growth slows.
7. Pruning
Minimal Pruning: Prune any yellowing or damaged leaves to maintain the plant's appearance. Aglaonema generally requires minimal pruning.
8. Repotting
Repot Every 2-3 Years: Repot your Aglaonema every 2-3 years or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger to avoid excessive soil, which can retain too much moisture.
9. Pest Control
Watch for Pests: Aglaonema can occasionally attract pests like spider mites, aphids, and mealybugs. Regularly inspect the plant and treat any infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
10. Air Quality
Good Ventilation: Ensure the plant has good air circulation to prevent fungal issues and promote overall health.
By following these care guidelines, your Aglaonema commutatum will thrive, displaying its beautiful foliage and adding a touch of greenery to your indoor space. This plant is known for its resilience and ease of care, making it a great choice for both beginners and experienced plant enthusiasts.
