Aglaonema Silver Bay Care & Info Guide
Horty Hints
Don’t say hello to the yellow! Yellow leaves can often be a sign of overwatering so ensure your Aglaonema Silver Bay has adequate drainage to avoid sitting in excess water.
Time for a trim! Prune any dead leaves or leaves with brown tips to ensure the plant is fully utilising nutrients and to encourage new growth.

Aglaonema thrive in most light levels. The lighter the leaf colour, the more light required. Plain, dark green varieties prefer near-shade, whereas the lighter, variegated types need well-lit conditions. Avoid direct sunlight.

Allow an extended “dry period” for Chinese Evergreens. Water when the meter has been on minimum for 7 to 10 days, allowing the roots to dry out completely. For more info, visit our HydroCare set up guide.
