Care Guidelines:
- Light Requirements: Aglaonema Red Anjamani thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light conditions but will not produce as vibrant colors. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Allow the top layer of the soil to dry out slightly before the next watering. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure proper drainage.
- Humidity & Temperature: This plant enjoys higher humidity levels. Ideally, maintain humidity above 50%. A temperature range of 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C) is ideal. Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
- Soil Type: Use a well-draining potting mix. A mix designed for tropical plants or one containing peat and perlite works well to prevent waterlogging.
- Fertilization: Feed Aglaonema Red Anjamani with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce fertilization in fall and winter when the plant is dormant.
- Pest and Disease Management: Common pests include spider mites, aphids, and mealybugs. Check the plant regularly for signs of pests and treat them with insecticidal soap or neem oil as necessary. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases.
- Repotting: Repot the plant every 1-2 years or when it outgrows its pot. Use fresh potting soil and choose a pot that is one size larger.
