Aglaonema Grey Hound (single large plant)

The Aglaonema Greyhound is a relatively low-maintenance plant, perfect for indoor environments, especially if you don’t have a lot of bright sunlight. Here’s how to care for it:

1. Light

• The Aglaonema Greyhound prefers low to medium indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves, but it also won’t thrive in very low light.
• It can adapt to fluorescent lighting, making it ideal for offices and indoor spaces without natural light.

2. Watering

• Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Generally, watering every 1-2 weeks is sufficient, but this may vary depending on the room temperature and humidity.
• Avoid overwatering, as the roots are prone to rot if they sit in water.

3. Humidity

• Aglaonemas prefer moderate to high humidity. Keep it in a room with average humidity levels or use a humidifier in drier climates.
• To boost humidity naturally, mist the leaves occasionally, or place the pot on a pebble tray with water.

4. Soil and Fertilizer

• Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally a peat-based mix with perlite to improve drainage.
• Fertilize every 6-8 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble houseplant fertilizer. Cut back on feeding in the fall and winter.

5. Temperature

• The Aglaonema Greyhound does well in typical indoor temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Avoid cold drafts, as it’s sensitive to temperatures below 55°F (13°C).

6. Repotting

• Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant outgrows its container. Choose a pot that’s 1-2 inches larger in diameter than the previous one.

7. Pests and Problems

• Watch for common pests like spider mites, mealybugs, and scale. Wipe the leaves occasionally and inspect for any signs of pests.
• Leaf yellowing can be a sign of overwatering, while brown tips might indicate low humidity.

The Aglaonema Greyhound is resilient and forgiving, and with these simple care steps, it should thrive as a beautiful addition to your space.
