How to propagate aglaonema pictum tricolor:
- Division: You can propagate aglaonema pictum tricolor through division of the parent plant. Here's how to do it:
- Choose a healthy parent plant with multiple stems.
- Gently remove the plant from the pot and separate the stems by carefully pulling them apart.
- Each separated stem should have roots attached to it.
- Replant each stem in a new pot with well-draining soil.
- Water the newly planted stems and keep them in a warm, bright location.
- Cuttings: Another method of propagation is through stem cuttings. Here's how to do it:
- Select a healthy stem from the parent plant and cut it just below a node using sterilized scissors or pruning shears.
- Remove the lower leaves from the cutting to expose a node where roots will grow.
- Place the cutting in a glass of water or moist potting mix, making sure the node is submerged.
- Keep the cutting in a warm, bright location and change the water regularly if propagating in water.
- Once roots have formed, transplant the cutting into a new pot with well-draining soil.
- Propagation tray: You can also propagate aglaonema pictum tricolor in a propagation tray. Here's how to do it:
- Fill a propagation tray with moist, well-draining soil.
- Take stem cuttings from the parent plant and insert them into the soil, ensuring that a node is buried.
- Keep the tray in a warm, bright location with high humidity.
- Water the cuttings regularly to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.
- Once roots have developed, transplant the cuttings into individual pots.
