Aglaonema ‘Eileen’

Description:
Aglaonema 'Eileen' is a beautiful and resilient houseplant, admired for its lush green foliage with subtle silver or cream variegation. Its elegant leaves and compact growth habit make it an excellent choice for brightening up indoor spaces, from homes to offices. Known for its adaptability and ease of care, this variety thrives with minimal maintenance, making it a great option for both beginners and experienced plant enthusiasts.

Watering:
Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, ensuring that excess water drains freely to prevent root rot. While Aglaonema 'Eileen' enjoys consistent moisture, it is best to avoid overwatering. Reduce watering frequency in cooler months when growth naturally slows.

Fertilizer:
Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (Spring and Summer) to encourage healthy foliage and steady growth. Cut back on feeding in the Fall and Winter months when the plant requires fewer nutrients.

Lighting:
Prefers bright, indirect light but is highly tolerant of lower light conditions, making it a versatile choice for different indoor environments. While it can adapt to shade, providing ample light will enhance its variegation. Avoid direct sunlight, as it may scorch the leaves.

Temperature:
Thrives in temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Keep it away from cold drafts, air conditioning vents, and sudden temperature fluctuations to prevent stress and potential leaf damage.

Humidity:
Prefers moderate to high humidity but adapts well to average indoor conditions. If the air is particularly dry, occasional misting, a humidity tray, or a humidifier can help maintain the plant’s lush appearance and prevent leaf crisping.
