Aglaonema Fortune

Aglaonema Fortune A compact, clumping, self-heading Aglaonema cultivar — a Chinese Evergreen native to the tropical and subtropical forests of Southeast Asia and New Guinea — grown for its ornamental foliage. One of the most genuinely low-maintenance tropical foliage plants available, tolerating a wider range of indoor conditions than most collector aroids while remaining visually attractive year-round. Light: Moderate to bright indirect light supports the best growth and most vivid foliage; tolerates lower light conditions though color and variegation reduce in dim settings. Never direct sun. Soil: Well-draining potting mix with added perlite; moisture-retentive but never waterlogged. Good aeration is beneficial. Temperature/Humidity: Warm temperatures between 65-80°F; does not tolerate cold drafts or temperatures below 55°F. Average household humidity is sufficient; 50-60% supports the best growth. Watering: Allow the top 1-2" of medium to dry between waterings; reduce in winter. More forgiving of underwatering than overwatering — never allow to sit in standing water. Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during active growth; reduce or stop in winter. Avoid over-fertilizing which causes salt buildup and leaf tip burn.
