Aglaonema Kumkoon

This plant thrives in bright indirect light, which means it needs a well-lit space without harsh direct sunlight. Ideal locations include east or north-facing windows, or spots near south or west-facing windows with filtered light through a sheer curtain to protect its foliage.

Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. Avoid overwatering & ensure pots have drainage holes. Frequency may vary with season and light, roughly once every 5–10 days.

30–40% Coco Coir/Peat Moss: For moisture retention without waterlogging.
20–30% Perlite/Pumice: Improves drainage and aeration.
20–30% Leaf Compost/Orchid Bark: Enhances structure and airflow.
10–20% Vermicompost/Compost: Provides slow-release nutrients.

Optional: A handful of horticultural charcoal for added root health. This mix supports healthy, lush foliage and prevents rot in warm, humid indoor environments.

For these plants, use a balanced liquid fertilizer (such as 10-10-10 or 20-20-20) at half strength every 3–4 weeks during the growing season. They thrive with gentle, regular feeding to support healthy foliage and roots. A slow-release fertilizer applied once in spring also works well. In winter, reduce or stop feeding as growth slows.

You can also enrich the soil by mixing in a small amount of well-aged compost or vermicompost every 2–3 months. This provides a steady source of organic nutrients and improves soil structure, helping the plants stay healthy over time.
