🪴 Aglaonema ‘Apple Fantasy’ – Care Guide
☀️ Light
Thrives in bright, indirect light.
Can tolerate lower light (a key feature of Aglaonemas), but colors may become less vibrant.
Avoid direct sunlight – it can bleach or scorch the leaves.
💧 Water
Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry.
Likes soil to be evenly moist, but never soggy.
Reduce watering in winter.
🌫️ Humidity
Prefers moderate humidity (40–60%).
Adapts to average indoor humidity but benefits from occasional misting or a humidifier.
🌡️ Temperature
Ideal range: 65–80°F (18–27°C).
Avoid cold drafts or temperatures below 55°F (13°C).
🌱 Soil
Use a well-draining, light potting mix:
Suggested blend: potting soil + perlite + orchid bark or coco coir.
🍽️ Fertilizer
Feed once a month during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10 or 20-20-20).
No need to fertilize in fall/winter.
🪴 Potting & Repotting
Repot every 2–3 years, or when roots start circling the bottom.
Choose pots with good drainage to prevent root rot.
✂️ Pruning & Propagation
Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves to keep it tidy.
Easily propagated by division during repotting.
