How to fertilize Aglaonema 'Red Zircon'

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 'Red Zircon' after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Too much sun on my red Zircon? Hello! I love this aglaonema red zircon and it's in home for about two months. It looks nice and healthy but this week I have noticed brown end in one leave. It's for about to much direct sun? Maybe related too much water? #aglaonema

Unknown plant Does anyone know this plant species? I’ve been looking everywhere but I haven’t found a name. I also have a feeling that it’s not doing great, I got this plant a week ago and it wasn’t at its best when I bought it. I transplanted it to this pot (it has drainage) when I got home and now all the leaves are droopy. Do you have any suggestions to fix this? Thanks!!

My plant had stem rot and I’m trying to save it Earlier this week I asked around here for tips on saving my beautiful pink plant and a few of you guys told me to check for root rot. I took your advise only to notice that all the roots had deattached off the plant, the main stem was rotten and the plant was completely being sustained by the stick I put. I am now currently on complete save mode. I’m super sad to lose this plant since I’ve only had it for 1 week (I believe I may have already bought it sick). I just cut all the rot and used a bit of cinnamon on the cut. As it has no roots I’m thinking on put in on water to see if it can grow some as if I were trying to propagate it. In anyone has any tips that may help me in my journey I’ll be happy to receive them!! Thank you!!

So, my #Aglaonema pictum tricolor is really giving me a hard time! I got it as a starter plant about a year ago, maybe like 8 months ago, something like that. Anyway, she has been doing great and consistently putting out new leaves, but the problem is, ever since she bloomed a few months ago (two flowers!), every time she gets a new leaf, she kills off an older one. She never has more than 3-4 leaves at a time and it’s really bugging me! How will she ever grow up to be a lush lady if she only ever has 3 leaves? 😭😭😭 Does anyone have any experience/advice? @UltraKoreanfir I know you have one, do you have any idea what’s happening here? Am I doing something wrong? All my other aglaonemas are thriving but they’re mature. #GregGang #NewGrowth #RarePlants #babevila

How do I cut these off???? I always wondered why this plant never did very well since I’ve brought it home. Just couldn’t get the watering or the light right I thought. Then the other day I noticed this black plastic sticking up out of the soil. I can’t believe I never noticed this before! Hoping to cut them off and repot in a chunky soil mix in a clay pot. Any tips? And there’s some sort of little round white type eggs in the soil that look like about the size of small per light, but they have liquid inside. Anybody know what those are??? So gross. #HappyPlants #Aglaonema #BigBoxStoreFind #BigBoxStoreProblems #PestControl #deathplugs #PlantAddict #ChineseEvergreen #NEPAGregGang

Im trying to propagate. What is the best way? Also, how moist should the soil stay? What kind of drainage is best. I think I'm over watering. #Aglaonema
