Aglaonema Golden Madonna Kokedama measures around 16 inches wide by 13 inches tall with a 6 inch moss ball. The display plate is not included (Pottery coming soon).
Aglaonema can have leaf colour variations from dark green to silver, and some with hints of reds and pinks. It has a seasonal bloom of green, white or greenish-white spathe.
CARE: It prefers dappled or partial shade in medium to bright indirect light; keep out of direct sunlight! The darker the leaves and stalks, the less light is needed. It is tolerant of high humidity but does best between 40%-50% humidity. Temperatures between 18-27 ºC are ideal. Lower than 15ºC is not healthy for this plant and can cause dark patches on the leaves. If the leaves begin to curl and the edges turn brown the temperature is probably too low or cold drafts may be affecting the plant. It should dry well (not completely) between waterings, and watered thoroughly when needed. Overwatering is a big problem for these plants, but try to keep the moss ball somewhat moist. It can be fertilized with general diluted liquid houseplant food once a month during the spring and summer.
They like to become slightly root-bound. Mealybugs and red spider mites have proven to be attracted to this plant and cause problems.
Warning - Aglaonema contain calcium oxalate crystals. They are toxic to humans and pets if ingested! Coming in contact with any internal liquid of the plant results in painful stinging and burning with symptoms occurring for up to two weeks. Sap from the plant that comes in contact with bare skin will also cause these symptoms in many people. Trust me, it does not tickle... It hurts.
