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

So I received an #Aglaonema cutting and some #CannaLily plants from my aunt and uncle yesterday. 😍 I wish I had taken a photo of her Aglaonema that I got the cutting from because it is GINORMOUS. 😳 I mean, that is a CUTTING and look how big it is 🤣 My aunt had no idea what it even was, but with some research I believe it’s an Aglaonema ‘Emerald Bay’ 😍 They basically have a jungle in their house and I already can’t wait to go back and bring home more free plants 🤣🌿💚 #FREEPLANTS #PlantingOnABudget #HappyPlants #PropagationStation #PlantAddict #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #GregGang #ChineseEvergreen #SharingIsCaring #SCGregGang #GardenInTheSkye

Aglaonema sp. I've been having a hard time figuring out the type of Aglaonema my plant is as it wasn't listed in the app. It appears to be a Aglaonema 'moonstone miles' according to Gabriella Plants. Can this get added to the system? Not sure how to reach out to the Greg Team. #greggang #speciessuggestion

Can someone Help? I was watering Rosita and I noticed her new leaves are browning, transparent and mushy. What do I do?!

New addition! Advice? I specifically look for plants that have low light requirements because I don't really have a lot to work with. But when I brought this little one home and started researching how to care for it, I read that they are somewhat difficult, does anyone have any tips? Am I in over my head as a beginner? #Aglaonema

This morning I saw this on the stems of my plant - should I be concerned? It looks like there was a new stem coming up but that it died.
-
Are these roots ok? They look like they’re trying to escape the pot! Is this fine? #Aglaonema #ChineseEvergreen
-
I've noticed that all my Aglaonema plants their leaves are starting too yellow. I don't know if it's because it's getting colder or lack of sunlight or maybe too little or too much water. #Aglaonema

I went to water my plant this morning and noticed it looks like the top layer of soil has started molding? Is this salvageable?? #Aglaonema

🐶 🐈 👶 Toxicity
Greg does not have confirmed data on this plant’s toxicity. If you, a family member, or a pet consumes plant material of unknown toxicity, it’s always best to consult a medical professional.
If you or someone else ingested this plant, call Poison Control at US (800) 222-1222. If a pet consumed this plant, contact your veterinarian or the ASPCA at US (888) 426-4435.
💨 Humidity
Emerald Bay Chinese Evergreen doesn’t require additional humidity. Plants absorb most water through their root system rather than their leaves, so the best way to provide humidity for your plants is through watering the soil.
🪴 Soil
Emerald Bay Chinese Evergreen does best in well-draining soil. A good soil will contain lots of organic matter such as coco coir as well as perlite or vermiculite to help with drainage. Adding a handful of perlite to regular store-bought potting soil should do the trick!
💩 Fertilizer
Emerald Bay Chinese Evergreen should be repotted after it doubles in size or once a year, whichever comes first. Fresh potting soil has all the nutrients your plant needs, so as long as it’s refreshed yearly, you shouldn’t need to use fertilizer. Remember, plants get their energy from sunlight, not fertilizer!
❄️ Dormancy
It’s common for Emerald Bay Chinese Evergreen to go dormant in the wintertime and you may notice their growth slow down. Waterings should be spaced out more during this time.
🌎 Native Region
Emerald Bay Chinese Evergreen is native to tropical Asia and New Guinea.
🧐 Troubleshooting
When troubleshooting a sad-looking houseplant, start by checking for signs of distress in its leaves, such as yellowing, browning, or drooping, which can indicate overwatering or nutrient deficiencies.
Inspect the soil moisture; too dry or too wet soil can cause problems.
Ensure the plant is getting the right amount of light, as too much or too little can stress it.
Finally, consider environmental factors like temperature and humidity, and adjust care routines accordingly to revive your plant.
