Unveiling the Secrets of 'Putin's Plant': Caring for Aglaonema
Discover the secrets of caring for the popular Aglaonema, often dubbed 'Putin's plant' due to its frequent appearance in the office of the Russian President. This low-maintenance houseplant is beloved for its decorative value and air-purifying qualities.
Lighting is key to keeping your Aglaonema happy. Plants with mostly green leaves, like the popular 'Silver Queen', require less light, while variegated varieties such as 'Cutlass' need more. Vladimir Kuklin, a botanist in Krasnodar, advises placing your plant in a location that balances its light needs.
Overwatering is a common mistake. Vitaly Eremeko, another Krasnodar enthusiast, warns that soggy soil can lead to root rot and even kill the plant. Instead, water only when the soil is about 30-50% dry. Even with minimal care, Aglaonema can thrive for years, adding a touch of green elegance to any interior.
Whether you're a seasoned plant enthusiast or a beginner, Aglaonema is an excellent choice. With the right light and minimal watering, this popular houseplant can become a long-lasting, air-freshening addition to your home. So, embrace your inner plant parent and give 'Putin's plant' a try.
