One of the most low-light-tolerant houseplants, it stays attractive with minimal care, making it ideal for Indian homes and offices. The compact, upright habit suits tabletops, floor pots and reception areas. Aglaonema is slow-growing, drought-forgiving and known for purifying indoor air.

Growing tips

Keep Aglaonema warm; it dislikes cold and air-conditioner drafts that cause leaf curling in winter. In low light the green-dominant varieties hold colour best, while pink/red types need brighter indirect light.

Aglaonema Care

Aglaonema (Aglaonema commutatum), also called Chinese Evergreen, is one of the easiest indoor plants to keep alive in Indian homes. It thrives in medium to low indirect light, so it suits rooms that don't get much sun, and it prefers watering only when the top inch of soil feels dry. Wipe the leaves now and then to keep them glossy, and feed lightly through the warmer months for steady new growth.

Aglaonema Varieties & Types

The Aglaonema family covers a wide range of leaf patterns, from deep green with silver marbling to striking pink, red and cream variegation. Aglaonema commutatum is a classic, hardy variety valued for its patterned foliage and forgiving nature. Whichever leaf colour you choose, the plant stays compact and tidy, making it easy to place on desks, shelves and side tables.

Aglaonema Benefits & Uses

Aglaonema is a popular air-purifying houseplant that adds year-round colour without demanding much attention. Its dense, patterned leaves make it a natural choice for brightening living rooms, offices and hallways, including corners with limited light. As a slow, steady grower it stays neat for a long time, so it works well as both a gift and a low-maintenance desk plant.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I water Aglaonema?
Water when the top half of the soil dries, about once a week. It is drought-tolerant, so avoid keeping it constantly wet.
Can Aglaonema survive in low light?
Yes, it is one of the best low-light houseplants. Pink and red types, however, need brighter indirect light to stay vivid.
Is Aglaonema toxic to pets?
Yes. It contains calcium oxalate crystals and is toxic to cats, dogs and humans if chewed or eaten.
Why are the leaves curling or browning?
Usually cold exposure, AC drafts or low humidity. Keep it warm, away from vents, and water consistently.
How do I propagate Aglaonema?
Divide a mature clump at repotting or root stem cuttings with a node in moist soil during warm months.
When should I repot it?
Repot every 2-3 years; it prefers being slightly rootbound, so do not over-pot into a much larger container.
Does Aglaonema flower?
It produces a small greenish-white spathe occasionally, but it is grown mainly for its decorative foliage, not flowers.
Can I keep Aglaonema outdoors?
Only in deep shade or covered areas. Direct sun scorches the leaves and cold winter air damages the plant.
How do I fertilize Aglaonema?
Feed lightly with a balanced diluted liquid fertilizer once a month during the warm growing season; skip winter feeding.
Why are lower leaves turning yellow?
Occasional yellowing of old leaves is natural. Frequent yellowing points to overwatering, so let the soil dry more between waterings.
