Caring for Aglaonema 'Key Lime'
Aglaonema is an ideal choice for both novice and busy plant owners. It is a hardy, adaptable houseplant that will decorate your home for many years under the right conditions.
Light requirements
It prefers bright, diffused light, but also thrives in partial shade. Direct, strong sunlight can scorch its leaves. It can survive in darker locations, but its color remains more vibrant in adequate light.
Water
This plant has moderate water requirements. Allow the top layer of soil (2–3 cm) to dry out between waterings. Avoid overwatering, as standing water can cause root rot. It requires less water in winter.
Temperature
The ideal temperature is between 18–25°C. Do not allow the temperature to fall below 15°C. It does not like drafts or sudden changes in temperature.
Humidity
It thrives even at average room humidity, but moderate humidification promotes lush, healthy foliage.
Fertilization
From spring to fall, it is advisable to feed it with green plant fertilizer every 2–4 weeks. Fertilization is not necessary in winter.
