Aglaonema Commutatum ‘Manila Pride’

🌿 The Aglaonema Commutatum 'Manila Pride' is a beautiful and resilient houseplant, perfect for adding some lush greenery to your home. In a 3" pot!

 Here's a care guide to help your plant thrive: 😊

1. **Light Requirements**: 
   - Aglaonema Manila Pride prefers indirect light. 🪴 Too much direct sunlight can scorch its leaves, while too little light may slow its growth. 🌞 It’s adaptable to low-light conditions, making it perfect for indoor spaces.

2. **Watering**: 
   - Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry. 💧 Be careful not to overwater, as this can lead to root rot. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent standing water.

3. **Humidity**: 
   - This plant enjoys a bit of humidity. 🌫️ Regular misting or placing the pot on a pebble tray with water can help maintain moisture levels. It's especially helpful if your home has dry air.

4. **Temperature**: 
   - Keep it in a warm environment, ideally between 65-75°F (18-24°C). 🏡 Avoid placing it in areas with drafts or sudden temperature changes.

5. **Soil**:
   - Use a well-draining potting mix. A mix designed for houseplants or a blend of peat, perlite, and sand is ideal. 🌱

6. **Fertilization**:
   - Feed your Aglaonema with a balanced liquid fertilizer every month during the growing season (spring and summer). 🌼 Reduce feeding in the fall and winter when the plant's growth slows down.

7. **Pruning**:
   - Remove any yellowing or dead leaves to encourage new growth and keep the plant looking tidy. ✂️

8. **Repotting**:
   - Repot every 2-3 years or when you notice the plant becoming root-bound. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one for best results. 🪴

9. **Common Pests**:
   - Look out for pests like spider mites, mealybugs, and aphids. 🐛 Regularly checking your plant and cleaning the leaves can help prevent infestations.

With the right care, your Aglaonema Commutatum 'Manila Pride' will be a stunning and vibrant addition to your indoor plant collection! Feel free to reach out if you need more tips or have any questions. 🌿😊
