How to fertilize Aglaonema 'Silver Bay'
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Aglaonema 'Silver Bay' after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

My stem is retaining water visibly on the center, has become thinner, yellowish and is starting to bent. She is watered once weekly. Is on an eight inch pot with regular soil and perlite. What should I do to rescue her? #Aglaonema

My plant died, but I tried finding some of the core roots that I may be able to salvage. Any suggestions or would you think this is useless at this point? #Aglaonema

Not sure if I should water it on the schedule #Aglaonema hi. I’m following the app for watering but the water meter is still in the moist area. Should I still water it today? I’m new to plants and think I may have measured the pot size wrong. Please help! #HappyPlants

Anyone else have an Aglaonema like mine with a “trunk” instead of growing bushy with stems? I think he requires lest water because of his “trunk”. #Aglaonema #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy

Do I repot her? Why is she so droopy? Her leaves are growing very hard and are perfectly healthy.

Question! Would Anyone know why some of the leaves are curl inwards? It’s watered, fertilized, in fresh soil, and it’s by a grow light. Is this normal? #Aglaonema

Dieffenbachia love! Tho I doooo love my Greg app, I do hafta say it calculates "brother" as being in too much direct sunlight. He is THRIVING tho!!! I almost moved him wen started this app. He seems to be only one proving Greg wrong. But that was how my brother was too. I believe in gd luck. This plant was given to me wen my lil brother passed last yr. Since then we have gotten into a new house of our own. (Our rental was literally falling in around us an landlord wudnt do anything). Even wen we had no water, i was determined to keep this guy alive. This new house has so many qualities that make me think of my angel in heaven. I'm convinced he looked after us an got us here. This is definitely my most precious plant.

I’ve had her for a ling time and was technically my first plant so that says enough about how strong she is. It is very obvious now when she is and isn’t happy with me but will always be my favorite. She is an extremely fast grower and when i see a new bud from the soil or leave coming in then i know she is happy with me. I did have to do a lot of cutting down on her recently but ive kept her in the same small pot to keep from buying a smaller pot for the time being. That being said a lot of her dirt is exposed and will draw in the gnats that fly around the top of the soil. I recommend watering from the bottom for any plant with a lit of exposed soil.

When I bought this the plant seller told me that it’s a great plant for low light and can survive in artificial light (so a great office plant!) So far, I’ve kept mine in an area in my apartment that doesn’t get much light and it’s already sprouted new leaves. Once I get to go back to my office I’ll take her with me and see if she holds up to the task at my desk!
