POTTING MEDIA
WATER
Aroids are from the Araceae family. Aglaonemas, philodendrons, monsteras and pothos and ZZ plants belong to the Araceae family. They are known to be understory plants as they grow beneath the tropical rainforest canopy where they receive only partial, indirect sunlight. Aroids are common houseplants because of their ease of care and tolerance to shady condition.
LIGHT
Place your plants under bright, indirect sunlight as they are understory plants.
WATER
Aroids love humidity. However, do not overwater them as they do not require a lot of water. Always ensure that the top 2 inches down the soil is dry before the next watering. One way to check whether the soil is still damp is to poke a toothpick into the soil. If the toothpick is damp, then that indicates that the plant is still hydrated. The pots holding the aroids should have drainage holes, to avoid root rot as a result of excess water sitting in the soil. The frequency of watering should be adjusted according to the weather and your environment.
POTTING MEDIA
Aroids prefer to be potted with porous media mix like coconut chip, perlite, coco peat and pumice.
