How to Care for an Aglaonema Sparkling Sarah

Light: Place in bright, indirect light for vibrant foliage. Avoid direct sunlight; leaves will burn if exposed to direct sunlight.

Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 65-80°F. Protect from drafts and sudden changes.

Humidity: Provide moderate moisture. Mist leaves occasionally or places a humidity tray nearby.

Watering: Soil should be kept wet but not waterlogged. Water your house plant when the top inch of soil feels dry, and adjust the watering frequency depending on the conditions in which you live.

Soil: For indoor plants, use a potting soil mix with good drainage.

Fertilization: Feed with diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer throughout the growth season (spring and summer), about once every 4-6 weeks.

Potting: Repot every 2-3 years or when root-bound, choosing a slightly larger pot.

Pruning: Trim yellowing or damaged leaves to encourage new growth and maintain appearance.

Pest Control: Monitor for pests like spider mites and mealybugs. Isolate affected plants and treat them promptly.

Leaf Sensitivity: Aglaonema Sparkling Sara, commonly known as the Chinese Evergreen, can be sensitive to changes in light conditions. If you notice the leaves becoming discolored, pale, or scorched, they might be experiencing light stress. Consider moving it to a spot with filtered, indirect light to prevent leaf sensitivity. Additionally, ensure it’s not placed near drafts, air conditioning units, or heaters, as sudden temperature changes can also affect its leaves. A consistent environment will promote healthy growth and vibrant foliage for your Aglaonema Sparkling Sara.

Propagation: Propagate through stem cuttings with nodes. Place in water or soil until roots develop.
