    Maybe needs water, or the leaves could move with the sun?

      I’ll give her some water and a prayer.

    That’s really not the behavior of a aglaonema. They don’t just fall all out and have a fit because they weren’t watered. And they are perfectly fine lower light situations. And she’s directly under a light so no need to reach for light. I wish I could see it from the stem because my thought is that she was bummed or something. Especially if this happened all of a sudden. Check her stem for damage. Plus the other one in the pot is fine. If it were water or light the whole pot of plants would be affected. IMO

    Also they will lean as they get top heavy but she’s not just leaning. She about to fall out of the pot. If there is nothing wrong with the stem try planting her deeper in the pot or add a stake.

      I’m thinking about propagating her.

    Sorry to bear bad news, but she likely has root rot. If you bought at a national retail store, she’s from Costa Farms, and they use small hard plastic cages around the roots of their aglaonema. It traps moisture next to the roots so plants can get root rot even when being watered appropriately. Unless maybe you have a cat or dog who might have been nearby and snapped it? Either way, check the roots immediately.

    Had her for years. No pets, no rot. I guess she was bored. I’ve chopped and propped.
