How to Care for an Aglaonema White Dalmatian

Light: Place your Aglaonema White Dalmatian in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, brighter light will enhance its variegation and keep its colors vibrant.

Temperature: Keep the plant in a warm environment with temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Avoid exposing it to drafts and sudden temperature changes.

Humidity: Aglaonema White Dalmatian appreciates higher humidity levels. If the air is dry, mist the plant occasionally or place a humidity tray nearby.

Watering: Allow the top inch of the soil to dry out before watering. Ensure the pot has proper drainage to prevent soggy roots—water less frequently during the dormant period (fall and winter).

Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix formulated for houseplants. A combination designed for tropical plants works well.

Fertilization: During the growing season (spring and summer), feed your Aglaonema White Dalmatian with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks. Reduce fertilization during the dormant period.

Potting: Repot your Aglaonema White Dalmatian every 2-3 years or when it’s becoming root-bound. Choose a pot that’s slightly larger than the current one.

Pruning: Trim any yellowing or damaged leaves to maintain the plant’s appearance and encourage new growth.

Pest Management: Regularly inspect the leaves for spider mites and mealybugs. Isolate any affected plants and treat them promptly.

Leaf Sensitivity: Wipe your Dottie Calathea leaves gently with a damp cloth to remove dust. Clean leaves allow the plant to breathe and absorb light more effectively.

Propagation: This plant can be propagated through stem cuttings. Ensure the cutting has at least a couple of nodes and place it in water or soil until roots develop.
