Aglaonema Soil Mixture Secrets: Make Your Own Today
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with my Aglaonema, also known as the Chinese Evergreen. They’re pretty chill plants, but the soil? That’s where the magic happens, or, you know, doesn’t. I started with some regular potting mix from the local store. Just grabbed a bag, thought, “This’ll do.”

I planted my Aglaonema in it, watered it, and waited. It grew, but it wasn’t anything to write home about. So, I did a little digging—pun intended—and found that these plants like their soil to be well-draining. I decided to get my hands dirty and make my own mix.

Aglaonema Soil Mixture Secrets: Make Your Own Today

First, I got some peat moss. I’d heard it’s good for holding moisture without getting soggy. Then, I grabbed a bag of perlite. That stuff looks like little white pebbles and it helps with making sure water doesn’t just sit around the roots. I mixed these two together, about half and half. It felt right, you know? Like Goldilocks with her porridge, not too wet, not too dry.

But I wasn’t done. I remembered reading somewhere that Aglaonema also like a bit of sand. So, I tossed in some coarse sand, maybe a cup or so for a pot’s worth of the peat-perlite mix. I blended it all up, and it looked like something you’d find on a fancy beach, but for plants.

  • Used regular potting mix at first.
  • Repotted with a mix of peat moss and perlite.
  • Added coarse sand to the mix.
  • Planted the Aglaonema in the new mix.

I gently took my Aglaonema out of its old pot, shook off the old soil, and placed it into the new mix. I watered it just enough to get the soil damp, not soaked. And then, I waited again. This time, though, it was different. My Aglaonema seemed happier. It started to grow faster, the leaves looked greener, and it just seemed to thrive.

So, that’s my story about finding the right soil mix for Aglaonema. It was a bit of trial and error, but it was totally worth it. Now, my Chinese Evergreen is the star of my indoor plant collection. I guess the moral of the story is, sometimes you gotta get your hands a little dirty to make things grow just right.
