    Have you taken a look at the root system? From the size it currently is, it might need a smaller pot, and be sitting in more soil and water than it needs. I’ve found aglaonemas tend to enjoy being in a pot around 1-2 inches larger in circumference to the root ball. It might be easier to deduce what the problem is if you share what your current care schedule and environment is for it, like how much light it’s getting, what type of soil it’s in, how often you water it, etc. Hope this helps!

      Maybe I will try putting it in a smaller pot! It’s getting a good amount of indirect light, in normal potting soil, and I typically water every week or 2 depending on how the soil looks.

      Got it! As long as the soil is well draining (not like miracle grow or anything), your aglaonema probably wants to dry out between waterings. You can use a toothpick or bamboo skewer to stick all the way down into the soil and check that it’s dry before watering it. Planta’s currently recommending to wait at least 11 days before watering aglaonemas. You might wanna try watering it closer to every 2 weeks, since it isn’t quite spring yet and won’t need as much water until the growing season. If you think it might be that the soil doesn’t consistently dry out enough, or isn’t well draining enough for it, you might wanna remove some of the soil and replace it with a better draining mix. Is your plant in a regular pot with drainage holes, or a self watering one?
