Troubleshooting
Aglaonema Spring Snow problems — and how to fix them
Aglaonema Spring Snow (Aglaonema 'Spring Snow') 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.
Yellowing lower leaves
Often overwatering. Let the top few centimetres dry out and ensure the pot drains freely; occasional old-leaf loss is normal.
Brown crispy edges
Low humidity or chemicals in tap water. Increase humidity and switch to filtered or rainwater.
Faded marbling
Deep shade can dull the cream pattern. Move to a brighter indirect position for stronger variegation.
Soft, mushy stems
Stem rot from cold, soggy conditions. Cut away affected parts, repot in fresh dry mix and keep warmer.
