Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your Sparkling Sarah Chinese Evergreen is relatively simple, making it a rewarding experience for all plant enthusiasts. This resilient Aglaonema live plant thrives with consistent, basic care. When it comes to lighting, the ‘Sparkling Sarah’ prefers bright, indirect light but is highly tolerant of lower light conditions, which is why it’s celebrated as a fantastic low light houseplant. Avoid direct sunlight, as this can scorch its delicate leaves and fade its vibrant colors. A north-facing window or a spot several feet from an east or west-facing window is ideal.

Watering is crucial for healthy Aglaonema care. Water thoroughly when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry to the touch. It’s better to slightly underwater than to overwater, as consistently wet soil can lead to root rot. Ensure your plant pot has good drainage. During the growing season (spring and summer), you may need to water more frequently, while in fall and winter, reduce watering as the plant’s growth slows. The ideal temperature range for your Sparkling Sarah Chinese Evergreen is between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Avoid sudden temperature fluctuations and cold drafts, as these tropical plants are sensitive to cold. Humidity is also appreciated; consider misting regularly or placing the pot on a pebble tray with water.

For soil, a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter is best. You can use a standard indoor potting mix, perhaps with some added perlite for extra drainage. Fertilize your indoor foliage plant once a month during the spring and summer growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Reduce or stop fertilizing during the dormant winter months. Regularly wipe the leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and allow for better photosynthesis. Keep an eye out for common pests like spider mites or mealybugs; address any infestations promptly with insecticidal soap. Proper Aglaonema care ensures a long-lasting and beautiful plant.
