How to fertilize Dazzling Gem Chinese Evergreen
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 Dazzling Gem Chinese Evergreen after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Best Winter Care Schedule? Hello! This is my first winter with my pink splash plants and I’m wondering what I can do to help them get by? Winter is pretty harsh where I’m at and it’s cloudy almost everyday. Right now I have them as close to the window as possible, giving them as much light as I can but I wonder if I should try and use a grow light inbetween to give them brighter more consistent light. Any suggestions?

Small leaves are falling off. #Aglaonema

How often if you do fertilize? I know the weather changes. Should I put the indoor light on them since they are not outdoor plants #Aglaonema

Any recommendations for a taller but not wider pot? My plant is too top heavy for the pot now. #Aglaonema
