The Stunning Low-Light Beauty You’ll Love
If you’re looking for a houseplant that turns heads with minimal effort, Aglaonema ‘Super White’ should be at the top of your list. With its dramatic, creamy-white leaves edged in soft green, this plant adds a modern and elegant touch to any indoor space. Even better? It’s as easy to care for as it is beautiful—perfect for both beginner plant parents and seasoned collectors alike.
Here’s everything you need to know to keep your Aglaonema ‘Super White’ thriving and glowing:
🌤 Light Needs
Aglaonema ‘Super White’ loves bright, indirect light, but it’s also incredibly tolerant of lower-light conditions. That said, the whiter the leaves, the more light your plant will need to maintain that striking variegation. Avoid direct sunlight, which can burn the delicate leaves. A spot near an east-facing window or filtered light from a sheer curtain works best.
💧 Watering Routine
This plant prefers to be on the drier side, so overwatering is a big no-no. Water only when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry to the touch. When you do water, do so thoroughly until water drains out of the bottom of the pot. Make sure you empty any excess water from the saucer to prevent root rot.
Pro tip: Water less frequently in the winter when the plant is not actively growing.
🌡 Temperature & Humidity
Aglaonemas enjoy warm, slightly humid environments. Keep yours in a room between 65–85°F (18–29°C), and avoid cold drafts or sudden temperature changes. If your space is dry, especially in winter, consider placing a small humidifier nearby or grouping plants together to boost ambient humidity.
🌱 Soil & Potting
Use a well-draining, loose potting mix—something like a standard indoor houseplant soil with added perlite or orchid bark is perfect. Good drainage is crucial. Repot your Aglaonema every 1–2 years or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot with drainage holes to help prevent soggy soil.
🌸 Fertilizing Tips
During the active growing season (spring through summer), feed your plant once a month with a balanced, water-soluble houseplant fertilizer at half strength. No need to fertilize in the fall or winter months when growth naturally slows down.
✂️ Pruning & Maintenance
Aglaonema ‘Super White’ is naturally tidy, but you can remove yellow or damaged leaves to keep it looking fresh. Wipe down the leaves occasionally with a damp cloth to remove dust and keep them glossy and healthy.
⚠️ Is It Pet-Friendly?
Unfortunately, no. Like many tropical plants, Aglaonema is toxic to pets and humans if ingested, so keep it out of reach of curious kids and furry friends.
🪴 Final Thoughts
With its soft, luminous foliage and easygoing nature, Aglaonema ‘Super White’ is the perfect plant for anyone who wants beauty without the fuss. Give it a cozy, bright corner and a bit of your attention, and it will reward you with year-round elegance.
Looking to add a statement plant to your home without the high maintenance? The Aglaonema ‘Super White’ might just be your new favorite leafy companion.
