Aglaonema Super White problems — and how to fix them
Aglaonema Super White (Aglaonema 'Super White') 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.
Brown leaf edges
Usually low humidity, dry air from heating, or fluoride/salts in tap water; raise humidity and use filtered or rested water.
Leaves reverting to green
Insufficient light causes new growth to produce more chlorophyll and lose the white; move to a brighter indirect spot.
Yellowing lower leaves
Most often overwatering and soggy roots; check drainage and let the soil dry further between waterings.
Leaf scorch
Pale white tissue burns easily in direct sun, leaving bleached or papery patches; filter the light with a sheer curtain.
