General Instructions

Agloanemas

By nature, Aglaonemas do best in well-lit locations. Bright, but indirect sunlight is optimal. Be careful not to put your Aglaonema in full sun, as the leaves will burn. Keep your aglaonema plant's soil just barely moist—but not wet—and avoid allowing the soil to dry out completely. Generally, it will need watering more frequently in the spring and summer and less in the winter, so check the soil moisture regularly. They perform best in a well draining, fertile soil so be sure to add some well dried manure to you soil or potting mix 1-2 times in their souls during their active growing season. It is best to provide protection for your agloanemas during the winter months as exposure to the elements can cause them to perform poorly or die out all together.

Philodendrons

Philodendrons love filtered sunlight, keep them in a spot that receives soft morning light and filtered afternoon light to keep their leaves in pristine condition. Under big leafy trees is most ideal. Climbing varieties will really show off their impressive size if allowed to climb against a wall or tree. They prefer loose, nutrient rich soil or potting medium and only need to be repotted once rooted become bound to be the pot, about once a year. They can be watered once every 1-2days depending on where they are kept.

Alocasia
Alocasias need bright, but indirect light, direct sun will cause the leaves to burn, so avoid placing your Alocasia in a spot where it'll be exposed to direct sun for a prolonged period. They enjoy frequent misting and keeping their soil moist but not wet. In cooler weather, it is recommended allowing the top 2' of soil to dry out between waterings to prevent overwatering and root rot. Alocasia are heavy feeders so be sure to add well composted manure for you plant to have healthy, multiple leaves.

Begonias
These like to stay damp, and not dry out completely, but they hate having their roots sitting in water. Use well draining soil, with some compost material, to help retain moisture. Always water at the base of the plant, as they are susceptible to leaf rot and spots if the leaves get damp. They do best in situations with shade or morning sun/afternoon shade.

Cacti
Cacti and succulents thrive with good light sources, and it is best to place cacti and succulents in a bright place. Water your cactus only when the soil is completely dry. They prefer sandy, very well draining and fairly unfertilized soil. Feed sparingly.
