Need to Prune Your Aglaonema? (Heres When and How to Do It!)
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Okay, here’s my blog post about pruning my Aglaonema, written in the style you requested:

Alright, so I’ve got this Aglaonema, a Chinese Evergreen, and it was getting kinda leggy and wild. Time for a haircut! I’ve done this before, but I figured I’d document it this time, ’cause why not? Maybe it’ll help someone else out there with their own jungle-like plants.

Need to Prune Your Aglaonema? (Heres When and How to Do It!)

Getting Started

First things first, I gathered my tools. Nothing fancy, just:

  • A pair of sharp scissors. I wiped them down with some rubbing alcohol first, just to be safe. Don’t want to spread any plant diseases!
  • A clean pot, if you’re planning on propagate.
  • Some paper towels, cause it can get a bit messey.

The Snip-Snip

I spent like, five minutes just staring at the plant, figuring out where to cut. The main goal is to get rid of any yellowing or brown leaves, and also to shape the plant up a bit. If it’s getting too tall or wide for your liking, you can trim back the stems, too.

I found the leaves, that were looking sad – yellow, brown, crispy edges, you know the deal. I snipped them off right at the base, where they meet the main stem. Easy peasy.

Then, I looked for stems that were sticking out too much or making the plant look lopsided. I followed the stem down to a point where there was a leaf node (that little bump where a leaf grows from), and I made a cut just above that node. Apparently, that’s where new growth will sprout from, so, fingers crossed!

I just Kept cutting, working my way around the plant, until I was happy with the shape. It is important to step back every so often, and have look at the thing from different angles.

After the Cut

After cutting I cleaned up all the leaves and stems, and then take out the paper towels to wiped down the area.

And that’s it! My Aglaonema looks a whole lot neater now. I’ll keep an eye on it, and hopefully, it’ll reward me with some fresh, new growth in a few weeks. This wasn’t rocket science, just a bit of plant TLC. Give it a try!
