Water: Originating from tropical rainforests, aglaonema 'Silver King' thrives in high humidity and moist soil. It requires consistent weekly watering to prevent waterlogging and dryness. As a popular indoor plant with air-purifying qualities, aglaonema 'Silver King' benefits from placements that mimic its humid native habitat for optimal growth.
Fertilize: For aglaonema 'Silver King', apply balanced-nutrition fertilizers every 4-6 weeks during the growing season, using one teaspoon per gallon of water. Over-fertilization can harm aglaonema 'Silver King', so reduce frequency in winter. Ensure even distribution for effective nutrient uptake, especially when the soil is moist.

Regular pruning enhances air circulation, reducing pests and diseases. Avoid over-pruning and monitor the plant’s response.
