Aglaonema White Legacy Care

Aglaonema ‘White Legacy’

Aglaonema ‘White Legacy’ has a softer, cleaner look than many colorful Aglaonema varieties—broad foliage brushed with silvery white and muted green tones. It brightens a space without feeling loud and keeps the easygoing nature the genus is known for.

Origin

A cultivated Aglaonema variety descended from tropical species native to Asia and New Guinea, where these plants naturally grow along warm, shaded forest floors.

Light

Prefers medium to bright, indirect light. Brighter conditions help maintain stronger contrast and fuller growth.

Avoid prolonged direct sun, which can scorch the lighter portions of the foliage.

Water

Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry between waterings. Water thoroughly, then let excess moisture drain away.

Aglaonema tolerates occasional underwatering better than consistently wet soil.

Humidity

Average household humidity is generally sufficient, though moderate humidity will support healthier foliage.

Temperature

Thrives between 65–85°F. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F.

Soil

Aroid Mix

Fertilizer

Feed monthly during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer at half strength.

Growth Habit

Compact and upright with dense foliage emerging from short central stems. It develops a full, structured shape over time.

Common Issues

• Yellowing leaves: Often caused by overwatering.
• Brown tips: Can result from inconsistent watering, dry air, or mineral buildup.
• Faded coloration: Usually linked to insufficient light.
• Drooping: Often a sign of watering stress.

Pet Safety

Toxic if ingested.
