The Rooted Plant Shop Aglaonema Manila Pride

This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. While it is tolerant of lower light conditions, keeping it in a spot with filtered natural light will help maintain the vibrancy of its silvery variegation.

No, this Aglaonema is not pet-friendly. It contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation if ingested by pets, so it is best placed on a high shelf or in a room inaccessible to animals.

Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out completely between waterings. Because it prefers a well-draining mix, ensure the pot has drainage holes and avoid letting it sit in standing water, which can lead to root rot.

This variety is known for its compact and structured growth habit. It stays relatively small and tidy, making it an excellent choice for tabletops, desks, or smaller indoor spaces where you want a polished look without the plant taking over.

It performs best in a loose, airy substrate. A blend of succulent soil, perlite, and orchid bark is ideal, as it provides the necessary drainage to keep the roots healthy and oxygenated.
