Aglaonema (scientific name: aglaonema) is a common foliage plant in homes and offices because of its evergreen and shiny leaves. As a bonsai conservation, evergreen requires special care and attention. Here are more detailed maintenance guidelines:
1.Lighting management.
Evergreen likes semi-shade, suitable for indoor maintenance. Direct sunlight can burn the leaves, but too dark can affect their growth. The best location is 1-2 meters away from the window where the scattered light can be received. Rotate the plants regularly to ensure even light and avoid skewing growth to one side.
2.Temperature control.
Perennial is suitable for growing in a warm and humid environment, with an optimal temperature of 15-25 degrees Celsius. It should be kept above 10 degrees Celsius in winter to prevent frostbite. In the summer, when the temperature is high, the air humidity can be increased by spraying or humidifier.
3.Watering tips.
Watering is the key in the maintenance of evergreen. Keep the soil slightly moist but avoid standing water. When the summer is hot, increase the frequency of watering, but not too much each time. Reduce watering in winter and wait until the soil is completely dry. Use soft water, such as rainwater or distilled water, to avoid damage to the plant due to the accumulation of minerals in the hard water.
4.Fertilization method.
Evergreen needs to be fertilized in moderation during the growing season (spring to autumn). Use a compound fertilizer once a month, or use liquid fertilizer diluted as directed and watered. Slow growth in winter can reduce or stop fertilization.
5.Trim & Sculp.
Regular pruning to remove yellowish leaves and overly long branches helps the plant maintain a compact, aesthetically pleasing shape. Use clean, sharp gardening shears when pruning to avoid tearing the leaves and reduce the chance of germs invading.
6.Pest and disease control.
Evergreen can be attacked by pests such as aphids and red spiders. Regularly inspect the back of the leaves and stems, and deal with pests in a timely manner. In case of minor infringement, it can be wiped with a damp cloth; In severe cases, horticultural pesticides can be used.
7.Repot with soil.
As the plant grows, it needs to be repotted regularly. It is usually done every 2-3 years or when the plant is restricted. Choose slightly larger pots when repotting and use well-drained, organic-rich soil.
8.Attention to detail.
Clean the blades regularly to remove dust and keep them shiny.
Pay attention to the changes of the plant and adjust the maintenance method in time.
Avoid placing evergreen in a place where the air conditioner or heating is blowing.
Through the above meticulous care, your bonsai evergreen will not only grow healthily, but also add a touch of vitality and beauty to your living environment.
