Don’t say hello to the yellow! Yellow leaves can often be a sign of overwatering so ensure your Aglaonema Stripes 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.
