Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your Aglaonema Cutlass live plant is straightforward, ensuring it remains a vibrant and elegant feature in your home. Understanding its basic needs will help it flourish and maintain its striking silver-green foliage. This easy-care indoor houseplant is quite forgiving, but providing optimal conditions will lead to the best growth.

Light: The Aglaonema Cutlass live plant thrives in bright, filtered, or indirect light. While it tolerates low light houseplant conditions exceptionally well, direct sunlight, especially hot afternoon sun, should be avoided as it can scorch the leaves and damage the delicate foliage. Darker corners are acceptable, but prolonged exposure to very low light may cause the plant to become thinner and leggier over time. Optimal placement near an east or north-facing window, or a few feet away from a south or west-facing window, is ideal for balanced growth. This resilience to varying light levels makes it a versatile Chinese Evergreen care option.

Water and Soil: When it comes to watering, allow the top 50% to 75% of the soil to dry out completely before watering thoroughly. If your plant is kept in a darker location, you might allow the soil to dry out slightly more to prevent overwatering. A standard, well-draining potting soil mix is essential for this plant’s health. Amending the soil with approximately 30% peat moss and 10% perlite creates the ideal environment, ensuring good aeration and drainage while retaining some moisture. Proper drainage is crucial to prevent root rot, a common issue for many indoor plants. Good Chinese Evergreen care includes monitoring soil moisture carefully.

Temperature and Humidity: The Aglaonema Cutlass live plant prefers average room temperatures, ideally between 65°F and 75°F (18°C and 24°C). It is crucial to protect this tropical plant from cold temperatures; do not let temperatures drop below 60°F (15°C) as this can cause significant damage to its foliage. Avoid placing it near cold window sills, drafty areas, or air conditioning vents. This plant also appreciates moderate to high humidity levels. If your indoor air is dry, especially during winter months, misting the leaves once a week or placing the pot on a pebble tray with water can help increase humidity. This attention to climate contributes to robust growth and vibrant foliage, distinguishing proper Aglaonema varieties care.
