I watched your tomato plant video and we had tomatoes! (After two failed seasons) I have been in love with the red Chinese evergreen plant but have been hesitant, mainly because I still have questions: 1) I would like to have a large pot in an office space, do I place several plants in a pot? What is the best way to go about that? 2) the one plant I ever saw (and fell in love) was a large one, the leaves closer to the soil were all dried/crumbly and the plants were falling to the side. Will it always have dry leaves as it grows? It naturally falls over or it should be staked or something was wrong with that specific plant? Thank you in advance! Learning so much from all your videos!

Mine is drooping. I thought the pot it was in had drainage but it didn't. When it began to droop I thought it was from lack of water so i kept watering. I took it out and the soil was really soggy. Is there anyway to save? Should I cut the drooping leaves and, if so, how do you do it safely. I repotted it in dryer soil and am now waiting to see what happens. It's such a bummer! It was really beautiful.

I feel ad for killing my aglao in the past. one died due to. i think wrong substrate that has too many sands and too little watering,
A second one has grown big and tall, but i tried propagating it and they all rotted: ( too much water again i guess or maybe i shouldnt have used cinnamon powder.
Third times the charm im gonna be more careful

I bought this the other day and there where in these one little plastics things looked like starter pots a guess and they where eventually placed into a slightly bigger pot. When I brought it home to transfer it into a larger permanent pot I noticed there where in those little plastic things. Was I supposed to remove those before transplanting

I bought a large aglionema chinese evergreen from my local Lowe's and I think they may have over watered it. I had about 13 leaves turning yellow and are getting mushy. I haven't watered it for 2 weeks. I hope it doesn't have root rot! Would I be crazy to remove the soil, check the roots and bake the soil? Lol

Mine is not happy in my house. I rooted some cuttings from a friend's plant in water and then put them in soil. They are very leggy, not growing at all and the leaves are yellowing. Should I try to plant the leggy canes under the soil to see what they'll do? I'm not sure what to do for it. Thanks!

One of the leaves on my Aglaonema Siam aurora started to get mushy and eventually the whole leaf got too mushy and just fell off. I thought that was the last of it but now another leaf is doing the same!
Does anyone know how I can fix this please? I havent found anything online
Thank you!

Mines get these brown spots on the foliage. Do you know what causes this? I am finding these a little more finicky then I expected. I was using tap water to water, Im not sure if thats why bc I know others who use tap water and theres are fine. I also dont expose it to too much light.

We have the Queen variety. It was at a south-facing window. The leaves started turning yellowish. We don't know what to do. The soil was infested with fungus gnats, too, but I got rid of them recently. Should I give it some seaweed fertilizer and put it away from that south window?

What is the maximum size of growing container should I have for 1 of these plants (at full size? I have the varigated pink variety and mine is still under 1. 5 feet tall but I want to plan for full size pot for the future instead of repotting multiple times.

You of all people have plants in pots with no drainage holes? All plants should be in a container with drainage. thats Rule #1. If you cant abide by that you shouldnt be giving advice on how to grow healthy, happy plants. Im disappointed in you Kevin

I've been given a Red Aglonema Plant that is only a stem about 3 inches high and that's it. It is planted in soil but has no leaves. Is there anything I can do to help it to start to grow? I'd hate for it to rot or die on me.
Any suggestions please.

I have an agloenema (I think its called a Chinese lucky plant. It has some soggy areas on the leaves that are circle and brown. Ive had that section of the leaf rip as well. I can only describe it at soggy and soft. What is it? Its only on a few leaves

Hi there,
Some of the leaves of my pink dalmatian aglaonema are slowly turning brown(from the tip to covering the entire leaf) and are falling off. Where am I going wrong? :-( Should I just prune those leaves to redirect plant energy?
