🪴 Aglaonema Care Tips– Root Rot Prevention & Rescue

The BIGGEST issue with Aglaonemas is overwatering, which can cause root rot and sadly lead to the plant’s decline. But don’t panic—if you catch it early, she can bounce back beautifully.

🌱 For Soil-Grown Plants:

• If leaves start yellowing or the base smells musty, gently remove the plant from its pot and check the roots.
• Trim away any mushy or discoloured roots using sterilised scissors.
• Optional: Soak remaining healthy roots in a solution of 1 part 3% hydrogen peroxide to 2 parts water for 5–10 minutes. This cleanses and re-oxygenates the roots.
• Let roots air-dry completely before repotting into fresh, well-draining soil (something chunky like coir and vermiculite is perfect).
• Dust cut ends with cinnamon as a natural antifungal.
• Hold off watering for at least a week, and keep her somewhere warm and bright—but out of direct sun.

💧 For Water-Grown Plants:

• Change the water every 7–10 days, and rinse the roots to remove any biofilm.
• Use filtered or rainwater if possible.
• Add a splash of hydrogen peroxide (about 1 tsp per litre) every few changes to oxygenate the water and deter bacteria.
• You can also add a diluted hydroponic nutrient solution (follow label directions) to support healthy growth and vibrant foliage.
• Keep the setup clean and well-lit, but avoid direct sun.

Whether rooted in soil or shimmering in a vase, Aglaonemas love stability, gentle care, and a watchful eye. 💚
