Anglaonema Harlequin Net Pot

Aglaonema 'Harlequin', commonly known as the Harlequin Chinese Evergreen, is a popular houseplant celebrated for its attractive variegated leaves, which feature a mix of green, cream, and pink hues. This perennial plant is native to Southeast Asia and is particularly valued for its ability to thrive in low-light conditions, making it an excellent choice for indoor spaces.

Key Features:

• Growth Habit: Aglaonema 'Harlequin' typically reaches heights of 1 to 3 feet and has a bushy appearance with dense foliage.
• Leaves: The lance-shaped leaves are glossy and can grow up to 8 inches long, showcasing a unique mottled pattern that adds visual interest.

Care Requirements:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight but can tolerate low light. However, too little light may result in reduced variegation.
• Watering: Water every 5-7 days during the growing season, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in winter when growth slows.
• Soil: Thrives in well-draining potting soil rich in organic matter. A mix designed for houseplants or aroid plants works well.
• Temperature and Humidity: Prefers warm temperatures (70°F to 80°F) and high humidity levels (around 60%). Misting the leaves can help maintain humidity.

Additional Care Tips:

• Fertilization: Fertilize monthly during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer to promote healthy growth.
• Repotting: Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows its container. Ensure proper drainage by using pots with holes and adding drainage material at the bottom.
• Toxicity: Aglaonema 'Harlequin' contains calcium oxalate crystals, making it mildly toxic to pets and humans if ingested.

This resilient plant not only enhances indoor decor with its striking foliage but also contributes to air purification, making it a valuable addition to any home or office environment.
