Maintaining a Aglaoneama
Aglaonema are evergreen perennial herbs with stems growing erect or decumbent and creeping. Bright indirect indoor light is optimal for producing the beautiful white and red dots on its leaves. The aglaonema is a highly decorative plant & one of the most used interior landscape plant. It hates direct sun as it can burn the plant. Because of the bright foliage , the plant need to be kept with sufficient indoor lighting. Watering should be once a week in summer and 10-12 days in winter. They prefer humidity and do fairly well in dry air. Aglaonema hates over fertilization and appearance of brown spots on leaves is a clear indication of this. Avoid providing fertilizers during winter season.
Caring for your Kokedama
The amount of light, water and temperature depends on the variety of the plants. It also depends upon the weather and climate conditions of a place.
Water - To water the Kokedama, simply place it plant side up onto a bucket or sink half-filled with room temperature water. The ball of the Kokedama must be 3/4th soaked into the water to allow the water to get right to the roots. Soaking duration should be for 5-10 minutes or until saturated depending on the size of the plant. It should not be left sitting in the water for long time. Drain the Kokedama before placing on the stand and we are good to go.
Frequency- As a thumb rule, Kokedamas can be soaked in once every week. However, it also depends upon the kind of the plant and the season. Some plants such as cactus and succulents need to be fully dry before being soaked back into water.The best way is to check the dampness of the moss and feel the Kokedama. If it feels light, the Kokedama can be soaked into water. Misting would be required regularly if it is kept in air conditioner or heaters.
Fertilizer- Some Kokes will benefit from liquid fertilizer added to the water. The fertilizer requirement is mentioned at the back as per the plant.
Plants do outgrow Kokedama - Every plant eventually outgrows its pot. Initially, the plant can be trimmed, however if roots start growing through the moss, it is a clear indication to repot. You can simply plant the ball, twine and all into ground.
