Aglaonema ‘Pink Cabbage’ Care Guide

Light:
Aglaonema ‘Pink Cabbage’ grows best in bright, indirect light. Adequate light helps maintain its vibrant pink and green foliage. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

Water:
Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feels dry. Keep the soil evenly moist but never waterlogged. Reduce watering during winter.

Humidity:
This tropical plant enjoys moderate to high humidity (50–70%). Increase humidity by misting occasionally or placing the plant near a humidifier.

Temperature:
Maintain temperatures between 18°C and 30°C. Protect the plant from cold drafts and temperatures below 15°C.

Soil:
Use a well-draining, nutrient-rich potting mix made with coco peat or peat moss, perlite, and compost to promote healthy root development.

Fertilizer:
Feed once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Avoid excessive fertilization.

Pruning:
Remove yellow, damaged, or aging leaves to encourage healthy new growth and keep the plant attractive.

Repotting:
Repot every 2–3 years or when roots outgrow the pot. Use a container with proper drainage holes.

Common Problems:

• Yellow leaves: Usually caused by overwatering.
• Brown leaf tips: Often due to low humidity or underwatering.
• Faded pink color: Indicates insufficient light.
• Watch for pests such as mealybugs, spider mites, and scale insects.

Pet Safety:
Aglaonema ‘Pink Cabbage’ is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. Keep it away from pets and small children.
