Aglaonema ‘Maria’ is a popular variety of the Aglaonema genus, valued for its attractive foliage and easy care. Here’s a detailed overview:

Overview

  • Common Name: Maria
  • Family: Araceae

Characteristics of Aglaonema Maria

  • Leaves: ‘Maria’ features broad, glossy leaves that are deep green with striking silvery variegation. The contrast between the green and silver gives the plant a sophisticated and elegant appearance.
  • Growth Habit: This variety typically grows upright and can reach heights of about 2 to 3 feet (60 to 90 cm). Its bushy growth makes it an excellent choice for adding greenery to indoor spaces.

Care Tips of Aglaonema Maria

  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate low light. While it will survive in lower light conditions, the vibrant variegation is best in brighter settings. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
  • Watering: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent root rot. In the growing season (spring and summer), you may need to water more frequently.
  • Humidity: ‘Maria’ thrives in higher humidity, making it suitable for bathrooms or kitchens. If your environment is dry, consider misting the leaves or using a humidity tray.
  • Temperature: Ideal temperatures range from 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C). Protect it from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.

Soil

Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a standard houseplant mix or one designed for aroids. Adding perlite can enhance drainage.

Fertilization

Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Cut back on feeding in fall and winter when growth slows.

Propagation

‘Maria’ can be propagated through:

  • Stem Cuttings: Take cuttings with a few leaves and nodes, placing them in water or soil until they root.
  • Division: During repotting, the plant can be divided into smaller sections.

Benefits

  • Air Purification: Like other Aglaonemas, ‘Maria’ helps purify indoor air by filtering out toxins.

Notes

  • Toxicity: While generally safe, Aglaonema can be mildly toxic if ingested, so it’s best to keep it out of reach of pets and young children.
