Aglaonema Heng Heng - Grower’s Choice - 6” Pot - Live Plant

Plant Information

Aglaonema Heng Heng is a stunning variety of Chinese Evergreen that is sure to add a touch of exotic elegance to any indoor space. With its striking variegated foliage, featuring deep green leaves marked with splashes of yellow, pink, red and light green, this plant is a true showstopper. The leaves emerge fully green with a red, center vein and develop highly colorful variegation as the leaf ages. This Aglaonema is a beautiful piece of living art with its ever-changing leaf color. This is one of our favorites!
 
Aglaonema are relatively easy to care for, and are the perfect plants for beginners and experienced growers alike. Aglaonema plants generally grow bush-style, and produce offshoots, or “pups,” once they settle into their pots. As indoor houseplants, they will fill slowly their pots with pups, creating a low maintenance, beautifully dense statement piece.
 
Care and Maintenance
 
Remember that each plant is unique, so closely monitor your plant and adjust its care based on its response. By providing the right conditions, you'll be rewarded with a stunning and healthy plant that adds a touch of tropical elegance to your indoor space.
 
Light
Provide bright, indirect light for your aglaonema. It can tolerate lower light conditions, but its coloration will be most pronounced and attractive in moderate to bright indirect light. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight, as this can scorch the leaves.
 
Temperature
Maintain a comfortable room temperature between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Keep it away from cold drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations.
 
Watering
Allow the top inch or two of the soil to dry out before watering, as aglaonema generally prefer drier conditions and do well with a bit of neglect.  Water thoroughly when needed, but ensure that the pot has proper drainage to prevent waterlogged roots.
 
Soil
Use a well-draining potting mix to prevent overwatering. A mix of regular potting soil, perlite, and peat moss or coconut coir works well.
 
Fertilization
Feed your aglaonema with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce or eliminate fertilization during the fall and winter when growth slows down.
 
Humidity
Aglaonema can tolerate average indoor humidity levels. However, it may benefit from increased humidity. Misting the plant or using a humidity tray can help.
 
Pruning
Trim any yellowing or dead leaves to maintain the plant's appearance and encourage new growth.
 
Potting
Repot your aglaonema when it becomes root-bound or outgrows its current container. Repotting is best done in the spring.
 
Dusting
Dust can accumulate on the leaves, hindering their ability to absorb light. Wipe the leaves gently with a damp cloth or give the plant a shower occasionally to keep it clean.
 
Pests and Diseases
Keep an eye out for common houseplant pests like spider mites, thrips, aphids, and mealybugs. If you spot any pests, take action promptly with appropriate treatments.
 
Rotation
To ensure even growth and avoid the plant leaning towards the light source, rotate it every couple of weeks.
