Troubleshooting
Aglaonema Suksom Jaipong problems — and how to fix them
Aglaonema Suksom Jaipong (Aglaonema 'Suksom Jaipong') 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 and red colour
Caused by insufficient light. Move to brighter indirect light to restore the vivid pigmentation; too-dim spots push the foliage back toward plain green.
Yellowing leaves
Typically overwatering or poor drainage. Let the top third of the soil dry between waterings and ensure the pot drains; soggy roots yellow and rot quickly.
Brown leaf tips
From low humidity, salt buildup or over-feeding. Use filtered water, feed at half strength and raise humidity to keep the bright leaves blemish-free.
Cold injury
Temperatures below about 15°C cause greyish, water-soaked patches. Keep it warm and away from drafts, cold glass and air-conditioning, which it tolerates poorly.
