4" Aglaonema Silver Bay

Yellowing Leaves

Causes:

• Overwatering (most common)
• Poor drainage
• Underwatering
• Natural aging (old leaves)

Solutions:
✅ Check soil moisture—allow the top 1-2 inches to dry before watering again.
✅ Ensure the pot has drainage holes and is not retaining excess water.
✅ Trim off only the fully yellowed leaves.
✅ If older leaves turn yellow while new growth is healthy, it may be natural aging—nothing to worry about!

Brown, Crispy Leaf Edges or Tips

Causes:

• Low humidity
• Tap water chemicals (chlorine, fluoride)
• Underwatering

Solutions:
✅ Increase humidity by using a humidifier, pebble tray, or occasional misting.
✅ Use filtered, distilled, or rainwater to prevent chemical buildup.
✅ Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil is dry, ensuring even moisture.

Drooping or Wilting Leaves

Causes:

• Underwatering or overwatering
• Cold temperatures or drafts
• Root rot

Solutions:
✅ Check the soil—if dry, water thoroughly; if soggy, let it dry out before watering again.
✅ Keep in a warm environment (65-80°F / 18-27°C) and avoid cold drafts.
✅ If roots are brown and mushy, trim them and repot in fresh, well-draining soil.

Curling Leaves

Causes:

• Low humidity
• Temperature fluctuations
• Pest infestation (spider mites, thrips)

Solutions:
✅ Increase humidity—keep above 40-50%.
✅ Maintain a consistent temperature, avoiding sudden cold drafts.
✅ Inspect for pests and treat with neem oil or insecticidal soap if necessary.

Leggy Growth (Stretched Stems & Sparse Leaves)

Causes:

• Not enough light
• Natural aging of lower leaves

Solutions:
✅ Move to brighter, indirect light to encourage compact growth.
✅ Prune the top leaves to encourage bushier growth.
✅ Rotate the plant occasionally to ensure even light exposure.
