How to fertilize Aglaonema 'Silver III'

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 'Silver III' after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Bug infestation #Aglaonema does anyone know what these bugs are and what I should do to get rid of them? I adopted this plant a few months ago. It’s never been outside and this is not a pest I’ve ever seen before. Thanks for your help!

Should I chop it? New plant mom here! I got this Costa farms Aglaonema (the ones with the small plastic cages left around each plant) and decided to try and gently cut those out now rather than later. I still lost a few smaller roots in the process but not many, put it back in the same nursery pot, gave it a good water, and placed it back in its spot (north facing window). However this black spot has shown up on one of the stems. The poor plant is in shock right now so I’m hesitant to do anything drastic to it out of fear of killing it… but this looks like I may have nicked it and it got infected? Is there something I can do to help? Or is it better to chop this piece off? It looks like the leaf closest to this spot is yellowing and the other older leaves on this stem might be turning as well, but I’m not 100% sure yet #Aglaonema #plant #PlantClinic #helpneeded

Sticky clear sap on leaves #Aglaonema I can't see any pests but there are droplets of clear sticky sap. It seems fine otherwise, am I doing anything wrong/should I be concerned?

Leaf blisters? A week after repotting she seems to be recovering from shock and already pushing out new growth. However one of the leaves has these blister like spots on them, and it seems to be getting worse / growing… does anyone know what they are or what I should do about them? It’s only this leaf affected #PlantClinic #Aglaonema
