The Complete Guide to Aglaonema ‘Wishes’ Care

Aglaonema ‘Wishes’ is a beautiful and easy-to-grow houseplant that is native to Southeast Asia. It is known for its dark green leaves with white and pink variegation. This plant is relatively low-maintenance and can thrive in a variety of conditions.

Here are some tips on how to grow and care for Aglaonema ‘Wishes’:

• Light: Aglaonema ‘Wishes’ prefers bright, indirect sunlight. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little sunlight will cause the leaves to lose their variegation.
• Water: Water your Aglaonema ‘Wishes’ regularly, but allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Overwatering can cause root rot, which can kill the plant.
• Fertilizer: Fertilize your Aglaonema ‘Wishes’ once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer.
• Temperature: Aglaonema ‘Wishes’ prefers warm temperatures between 65 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit. It can tolerate cooler temperatures, but growth will slow down.
• Humidity: Aglaonema ‘Wishes’ does not require high humidity, but it will appreciate a humid environment. If your home is dry, you can increase the humidity by placing your plant on a pebble tray or by misting the leaves occasionally.
• Pests and Diseases: Aglaonema ‘Wishes’ is relatively resistant to pests and diseases. However, it can be susceptible to mealybugs and scale insects. If you notice any pests on your plant, you can treat them with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
• Propagation: Aglaonema ‘Wishes’ can be propagated by stem cuttings or by division. To propagate by stem cutting, simply cut a 4- to 6-inch stem from a healthy plant and remove the bottom leaves. Plant the cutting in a pot of well-draining potting mix and keep the soil moist. Rooting should occur in 4 to 6 weeks. To propagate by division, simply divide a mature plant into two or more sections. Each section should have at least 3 or 4 leaves and some roots. Plant each section in its own pot and water well.

With proper care, Aglaonema ‘Wishes’ can thrive for many years and provide you with years of enjoyment.
