Do not water on a schedule. the microenviromment around your plant is incredibly unique and difficult to formulate into an algorithm. It definitely shows signs of overwatering. Get a moisture meter, use weight of the pot, of a chopstick to gauge water needs. I don't see a plant profile for it but if it is still in nursery soil, you may want to change that. Nursery soil is extremely moisture retentive and dense to keep the plant hydrated during shipment and possibly poor store care however, once it is home it needs an adjustment. Aglaonemas thrive in well-draining soil that also retains some moisture. A good potting mix can be made by combining potting soil with perlite, pumice, or sand to increase drainage and aeration. A common ratio is one part perlite to two to three parts potting mix. This prevents the roots from becoming waterlogged, which can lead to root rot.
@AwaitedTearose Hello your pot looks way too big for the plant which would cause overwatering. If it were mine I’d go no bigger than a 6 inch pot . This is a plant that needs constant moisture so you don’t need a real chunky soil but one that will drain well. .A good mixture would be 3/4 soil 1/4 perlite . If it happens to be by a heater this too leads to such issues. I’ve always followed Greg with mine and never had an issue. Downsizing the pot with a soil that drains well should do wonders. I also bottom water mine so it takes what it needs. Best of luck
I know I am late to the game but OP, I would go with @phytologyfan advice. It looks like it probs has root rot and needs better drainage. Mine began looking like this after bringing it home from the store and I found this to be the issue. I have sinced changed the soil to orchid bark, charcoal, soil, worm castings, and perlite. I do however water when the app suggests and haven’t had an issue since. How’s the plant doing now, I know it’s been about 2 weeks since the post.
