Aglaonema 'Ivory Jade' has dark green, lustrous leaves with creamy or ivory patterns or spots on them, which make it very popular among foliage plants. The leaves are usually long oval in shape, with smooth edges and the tips gradually tapering. As an indoor plant, it usually does not grow extremely tall and is suitable for decorating the desktop or windowsill. It does not bloom frequently, and even if it blooms, the flowers are not conspicuous, mainly for viewing the leaves.

 

 

• Potted in a 4.8''pot

 

 

Aglaonema can help purify the air and absorb harmful gases indoors, and adapt to the temperature changes indoors. But it is best to avoid extremely low temperatures. It is relatively shade-tolerant and can grow in an environment with weak light, but sufficient diffused light helps it grow better.

 

• Light

Aglaonema 'Ivory Jade' prefers bright, indirect light and should be placed in a location with ample indoor light without direct sunlight. Direct sun can scorch the leaves.

• Water

This plant does not like to be too damp. Water thoroughly when the top layer of soil is completely dry. Typically, under indoor conditions, it may require watering once a week or less.

• Soil

Use well-draining soil, which can be a mix specifically formulated for indoor plants, or regular soil with added perlite or sand to improve drainage.

• Temperature

Aglaonema 'Ivory Jade' is quite adaptable and can handle average indoor room temperatures. Being from tropical regions, it is best to keep the temperature above 15°C.

• Humidity

While they appreciate some humidity, they do not require the high levels that some tropical plants do. Normal indoor humidity is usually sufficient.

• Fertilization

During the growing season, apply a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month to promote healthy growth.

• Pruning

If the plant becomes too leggy or unruly, prune it to maintain its shape.

• Cleaning

Regularly wipe the leaves gently with a damp cloth to keep them clean and facilitate photosynthesis.

• Propagation

Aglaonema 'Ivory Jade' can be propagated through division or stem cuttings.

• Repotting

For potted ones, repot once every spring, and for those planted in the ground, they need to be renewed and planted once every 3-4 years. It is not picky about the soil, but it is better to have loose, fertile and well-drained soil; it can grow in slightly acidic to slightly alkaline soil with a pH value of 5.5-8. The substrate can be prepared with materials such as decomposed leaf soil, garden soil, rice hull ash or coarse sand.

• Safety

It may be toxic if ingested by mistake, so contact between children and pets should be avoided.
