How to fertilize Aglaonema Rotundum
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Aglaonema Rotundum after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

My chocolate aglaonema Hershey is loving summer! He came with some pretty big leaves but they fell off quickly. However, he still had a lot of life in him, so don’t be discouraged when plants shed stuff to grow more! #NewGrowth #PlantLove #MotherNature #Aglaonema #ChocolateAglaonema

Good evening, all y'all plant-loving people! I repotted A LOT of plants today! I added rice hulls on top of all the soil of those and also the soil of the plants that are going to stay in their current pots for a bit. Everyone got new potting mix and appropriately sized pots with drainage. I have a few new leaves coming in on Rorshach the #caladium , Frankenstein the #monsteradeliciosa , among some others. Frankenstein's new leaf is gonna be huge! I couldn't get a good pic of it though, maybe tomorrow. My #persianshield Kitty Maclane got repotted and so did Artemis the #syngonium , Kanouk the #tradescantiananouk , Vivian the #redprayerplant , and Mulan the #aglaonema ! I might have missed some, but that's most everyone that got new digs today. #calatheabeautystar #monstera #repotseason #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #plantcorner #marblequeenpothos #theamigos

#GregPlantShop #PlantMail Alright everyone my 2 Aglaonema China Reds arrived today and here’s my thoughts! They’re beautifully colored plants and look healthy! I am so happy with the speed that they arrived. If I had any constructive feedback I’d say maybe try to contain the dirt a little better it was a tad messy, but I’m not too concerned about it. This will make a great Mother’s Day gift for my sister, and I got one for me as well💚 So happy to be able to participate in this beta testing! #PlantAddict #Aglaonema #PLANTMAFIA #GregGang #PlantTherapy #HappyPlants

#Aglaonema Rotundum finally showing some #NewGrowth 🥰🥰 (Sometimes referred to as ‘Tropic luckiest’ or ‘chocolate’) Hey #greggers #greggang I specifically requested him to be sent as a 'baby', as much as I could handle, of course - it took over a month, but now I finally see something sprucing out. I am simply in love with this one. Can't wait for it to grow and fill the pot with its beautiful curvy lines! #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PlantTherapy #FreshLeafFriday
