How to Make Aglaonema Bushy

 

Tips to make Aglaonema plant bushy

 

1. Select a healthy plant from nursery

 

For a bushier Aglaonema, start by selecting a healthy plant with 3-4 pups from the nursery.

2. Sunlight

 

Place the plant in a spot where it receives gentle morning sunlight, which helps in the development of new pups.

  • Position it in bright or medium sunlight.
  • When exposed to sunlight, it produces delightful white flowers.

3. Pot size

 

Opt for a smaller pot, as this can stimulate quicker pup growth due to the confined space encouraging the plant to spread out.

  • A pot size of 6-8 inches is generally adequate, with clay pots being the preferred choice.

4. Optimal watering

 

Water your aglaonema plant when the upper inch of soil becomes dry.

  • The leaves will show signs of wilting when the plant is in need of water.
  • Ensure thorough watering until water starts draining from the pot’s drainage holes, but be cautious to avoid overwatering.

5. Strategic Pruning

 

Regularly trim any long or thin stems.

  • This allows the plant to focus on growing new, thicker shoots, leading to a fuller and more compact shape.

6. Consistent Rotation

 

Ensure your Aglaonema gets light evenly by rotating the pot every couple of weeks.

  • This simple habit prevents uneven growth and promotes a symmetrical, bushier form.

7. Smart Fertilization

 

During the active growing months (spring and summer), feed your Aglaonema with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks.

  • Groundnut cake and onion peel liquid fertilizer are effective fertilizers.
  • Fertilize sparingly, especially avoiding the scorching summer months and the winter season.
  • This nutrient boost encourages vibrant, new growth and keeps the plant lush.

8. Choosing the Right Soil

 

For healthy growth, use a well-draining potting mix.

  • A blend that includes compost, coco peat, sand and standard potting soil works best, as it prevents water from sitting around the roots, which could stunt growth.

Following these practices will help your Aglaonema develop into a lush, bushy plant that’s both healthy and attractive.
