Description
Aglaonema Silver Bay
 
Habit
Upright, clumping growth habit with leaves produced from short stems. Plants gradually become fuller and bushier as they mature.
 
Growth Rate
Slow to moderate under warm conditions with consistent care.
 
Placement
Very adaptable indoors. Works well on tabletops, shelves and plant stands, with larger plants eventually suitable for floor placement.
 
Leaf Size
Medium to large foliage, with plants becoming fuller as they mature.
 
Light
Low to bright indirect light. Greener varieties tolerate lower light particularly well, while red, white or strongly patterned varieties benefit from brighter light to maintain their colour.
 
Water
Water thoroughly, then allow the soil to dry well before watering again. Avoid keeping the soil constantly wet.
 
Soil
Rays Retail Nursery’s Premium Aroid Mix
 
Feeding
Light to moderate feeder. Feed regularly during active growth. Grab some Novion before checkout.
 
Humidity
Average household humidity is generally sufficient. Higher humidity can improve leaf quality but is not essential.
 
Sensitivities
Sensitive to overwatering and prolonged cold conditions. Highly coloured varieties may lose some colour in insufficient light.
 
Pet Safe
No. Contains calcium oxalate crystals and can cause irritation if chewed or ingested by pets.
 
Rays Says
“Aglaonemas are some of the easiest indoor plants around. The greener ones handle lower light really well, while the colourful varieties appreciate a brighter spot. Let them dry properly between waterings and they’re usually very forgiving.”
