I Need Help Adding a Plant Trying for the second time in the forum. I've also emailed twice. I'm on Android and can't add the plant myself. Can anyone from Greg help me add Red King Aglaonema as a plant option so I can add my plant to the app?

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

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

🐶 🐈 👶 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 'Green Bowl' 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 'Green Bowl' 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 'Green Bowl' 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 'Green Bowl' 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 'Green Bowl' 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.
