# Does anyone have a aglanomena is pon or leca? All my plants are…

_Posted by Plant Dad on 2025-08-04_

Does anyone have a aglanomena is pon or leca? All my plants are thriving whether in pon or soil but I have been struggling keeping my baby aglaonema alive; I'm debating on just tossing it in pon as a final attempt.

Is between temps 65-75 degrees? No draft? Have you fertilized it? Western or eastern sun exposure is also helpful .

Just some stuff I looked into and I also have a better chance with the mix it’s suggesting but I do not have an aglonemia

Lol. Not a stupid comment. You have no idea how long it took me to remember the name of it hahaha

It's not exactly the same, but i currently have an algaonema silver bay growing in water and it's thriving. Given this I'd assume semihydro would work as well

Im going to try it. Glad to hear yours is doing well. =)

I tried an aglaonema in pon and it rotted. It could've been user era on my part? I chopped and rooted it again in water. Then moved to soil. Whatever you choose, let it dry between watering.

I have two of mine in leca, transitioning a third and they do really well. I do extend refilling the reservoir so they have some drier days.

I bought a tricolor and immediately placed it in leca. It’s doing ok but moved it to a lower light. I think still too early to tell, but so far so good.
