Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your First Diamond Aglaonema live plant is straightforward, making it an ideal choice for both novice and experienced plant enthusiasts. This Aglaonema plant indoor variety is known for its adaptability, but providing optimal conditions will ensure its most vibrant growth and striking foliage. Understanding the specific needs of this easy care houseplant will help it thrive.

Light

This plant thrives in bright, filtered, or indirect light. Position it near a window where it receives plenty of ambient light but is shielded from direct sun exposure, especially harsh afternoon sun, which can scorch its delicate leaves. While it can tolerate darker corners, prolonged low light conditions may cause the plant to become thinner and leggier, and the white coloration may not be as pronounced. Indirect sunlight is key to maintaining the stunning contrast of the leaves.

Water and Soil

Allow the soil of your First Diamond Aglaonema live plant to dry out by approximately 50% to 75% between waterings. If kept in a darker location, it may require slightly less frequent watering. A standard, well-draining potting soil mix is ideal for this plant. Amending the soil with approximately 30% peat moss and 10% perlite will create the perfect balance of moisture retention and drainage, preventing root rot. Always ensure the pot has drainage holes.

Temperature and Humidity

The ‘First Diamond’ Aglaonema prefers consistent room temperatures between 65°F (18°C) and 75°F (24°C). It is crucial to prevent temperatures from dropping below 60°F (15°C), as this can damage the foliage and stress the plant. Avoid placing it in cold window sills during winter or in drafty areas. This plant appreciates moderate to high humidity levels. If your home has dry air, especially during winter, misting the leaves at least once a week or placing the pot on a pebble tray with water can significantly benefit its health and appearance. Grouping it with other plants can also help create a more humid microclimate, which is beneficial for many Aglaonema varieties.

At this size, it typically stands about 8-12 inches tall from the top of the soil, with a similar spread, making it a perfect size for desks, shelves, or as an accent plant. Aglaonemas are moderate growers, and this particular variety will gradually fill out its pot, eventually reaching a mature height of 1-2 feet indoors with proper care.
