Is my aglaonema getting to much light or not enough water???? #Aglaonema

I’ve fallen victim to big box neglect 🤬, I went to water my baby Agnise and I’ve had her for a hot minute for reference. I went to water her and ya know it’s almost time for a repot soil is getting lower and I see a black thing sticking out and pull her out and I see this (pic 1). Oh but that’s not all it’s 3 plants put together from baby pots. I’m currently VERY upset repotting my baby the right way 😢. I’m just glad it hasn’t affected her she’s very happy new growth every week. Anyone else with anger please share because I’m PISSED y’all 😡 Pls start checking your new plants for this if you don’t already #NotSoHappyPlants #notsohappyplantparents #BigBoxStores #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NKYGregGroup #GregGang #NewGrowth #PlantTherapy #PLANTMAFIA #Greggers #gregteam #Gregging #PlantCorner #NewPlantMom #HappyPlants #BeforeAndAfter #PlantMoms #RootPorn

Dieffenbachia love! Tho I doooo love my Greg app, I do hafta say it calculates "brother" as being in too much direct sunlight. He is THRIVING tho!!! I almost moved him wen started this app. He seems to be only one proving Greg wrong. But that was how my brother was too. I believe in gd luck. This plant was given to me wen my lil brother passed last yr. Since then we have gotten into a new house of our own. (Our rental was literally falling in around us an landlord wudnt do anything). Even wen we had no water, i was determined to keep this guy alive. This new house has so many qualities that make me think of my angel in heaven. I'm convinced he looked after us an got us here. This is definitely my most precious plant.

Question! Would Anyone know why some of the leaves are curl inwards? It’s watered, fertilized, in fresh soil, and it’s by a grow light. Is this normal? #Aglaonema

My in-laws came down to work on planning our summer RV trip and we went out to dinner. There were two HUGE gorgeous Algaonema Silver Bay plants! When we were checking out I asked the manager if I could take a cutting. He had no idea what I meant, so I explained it to him and his response was “Yeah, sure. Go ahead.” I am in love with her leaves! The kind of make me think of mermaid fins, therefore the name, Ariel. @RJG is there a hashtag for Algaonema? #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #leaflove #freecuttings

Do I repot her? Why is she so droopy? Her leaves are growing very hard and are perfectly healthy.

Anyone else have an Aglaonema like mine with a “trunk” instead of growing bushy with stems? I think he requires lest water because of his “trunk”. #Aglaonema #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy

I’ve had her for a ling time and was technically my first plant so that says enough about how strong she is. It is very obvious now when she is and isn’t happy with me but will always be my favorite. She is an extremely fast grower and when i see a new bud from the soil or leave coming in then i know she is happy with me. I did have to do a lot of cutting down on her recently but ive kept her in the same small pot to keep from buying a smaller pot for the time being. That being said a lot of her dirt is exposed and will draw in the gnats that fly around the top of the soil. I recommend watering from the bottom for any plant with a lit of exposed soil.

When I bought this the plant seller told me that it’s a great plant for low light and can survive in artificial light (so a great office plant!) So far, I’ve kept mine in an area in my apartment that doesn’t get much light and it’s already sprouted new leaves. Once I get to go back to my office I’ll take her with me and see if she holds up to the task at my desk!
