The Aglaonema Aurora Siam is an easy-care plant that thrives with minimal maintenance. Here’s how to keep it happy:
Care Tips:
- Light: Prefers low to medium, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
- Water: Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure the soil drains well.
- Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity, but it’s also adaptable to typical indoor conditions. Consider misting the leaves or using a humidifier during dry seasons.
- Temperature: Keep it in a stable environment, ideally between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
- Soil: A well-draining potting mix designed for houseplants is ideal.
- Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
Pet Safety:
Unfortunately, Aglaonema Aurora Siam is not pet-safe. It is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested, causing symptoms like drooling, vomiting, and difficulty swallowing due to calcium oxalate crystals present in the plant. If you have pets that might nibble on plants, it’s best to place this one out of reach or consider a pet-safe alternative.
