Troubleshooting
Aglaonema Prosperity problems — and how to fix them
Aglaonema Prosperity (Aglaonema 'Prosperity') is generally forgiving once you match its basics, but a few issues come up again and again. Here is what each one looks like, why it happens, and the fix.
Faded pink veining
Insufficient light mutes the pink and silver; relocate to brighter indirect light to keep the variegation vivid.
Yellowing lower leaves
Generally overwatering and poor drainage; let soil dry more between waterings and ensure the pot drains.
Brown leaf tips
Low humidity or mineral and fertiliser salts in the soil; raise humidity, use filtered water and flush salts occasionally.
Spider mites
Fine webbing and stippling appear in hot, dry air; rinse foliage, raise humidity and treat with insecticidal soap if needed.
