How to Care for the Plant

Water
Keep the soil moist at all times. Water less in the winter.
Fertilizer
From spring until the and of summer they like to be fed with a diluted liquid fertilizer.
Sunlight
The most common advice I have been given for the Aglaonema is the darker the leaves and stalks, the less light is needed. I would say to be safe a bright room with the plant sitting in a shaded spot is best. Avoid direct sunlight.
