Aglaonema Pot Culture
Aglaonema Schott.
Aglaonema as a potted crop is characterized by high shade tolerance and adaptability to interior conditions, where its ornamental value is concentrated exclusively in vegetative traits.
In the reference 5 varieties crop Chinese Evergreen, where this is mentioned in the description.
When grown as a potted crop, Aglaonema has strict requirements for the substrate, which must have high aeration with an air-filled porosity of 10 to 20 percent. The plant is sensitive to waterlogging of the root system and requires the pH level to be maintained in the range of 5.5–6.5, while preferring a moderately restricted root volume.
Industrial reproduction of the species in pot culture relies on stem cutting and basal shoot division methods, as the efficiency of micropropagation remains limited. Unlike other ornamental aroids, flowering in this crop is considered an undesirable phenomenon; therefore, spadices are systematically removed to conserve resources directed toward the development of the foliage.
