How to fertilize Aglaonema 'Favonian'

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.

To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Aglaonema 'Favonian' after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Pruning Aglaonema My Siam has yellowing leaves that I want to prune off. Do I need to prune right below the leaf itself or down to the stalk?? #aglaonema #chineseevergreen #pruning #plantaddict #plantsmakepeoplehappy #askgreg

I suspect over watering, which I’m confused about because I am following the watering schedule provided by the app. The plant is watered every 10 days, it’s about 5 ft from a window and probably receives 1-3 hours of partial sunlight. #Aglaonema

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

🐶 🐈 👶 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
Aglaonema 'Favonian' 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
Aglaonema 'Favonian' 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
Aglaonema 'Favonian' 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 Aglaonema 'Favonian' 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
Aglaonema 'Favonian' 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.
