Description
The Aglaonema lipstika is a highly decorative plant with diamond planter. There seems to be a little controversy in the books over whether this plant is easy or difficult to grow. The simple rule to follow is this: the lighter the variegation, the more light it needs. Otherwise, these are slow growing, dependably attractive and make excellent foliage plants. They have large, narrow oval leaves on short stems.
Growing Conditions
Light: The darker green varieties can grow in near shade, while the variegated varieties require brighter light. Do not expose to direct sun.
Water: Water thoroughly in the summer, and mist often to raise humidity. During the winter, reduce watering but do not let the plant dry completely. Seek to raise humidity in general.
Temperature: They do not like cold drafts or temperatures below 65ºF. The warmer, the better.
Soil: A well-drained potting soil is perfect.
Fertilizer: Slow-release pellets or liquid fertilizer during the growing season.
Propagation: Aglaonema lipstika are not typically propagated by home growers, but they can be divided during repotting. Small shoots can be potted as individual plants.
Re-potting: They are slow growing and will only need re-potting every other year. Aglaonema lipstika are generally low-growing plants that will only very gradually reveal their trunks.
