Aglaonema White Joy
Light
The Aglaonema White Joy thrives in medium to low indirect light. It can tolerate lower light conditions, but its growth might slow down. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves.
Water
Water the Aglaonema White Joy when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry. Use room temperature water and water thoroughly until it drains out of the bottom of the pot. Avoid letting the plant sit in water as it can lead to root rot.

Fertiliser
Feed with a balanced, water-soluble houseplant fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Do not fertilize in the fall and winter when plant growth naturally slows.
Toxicity
The Aglaonema White Joy is toxic to pets and humans if ingested. The plant contains calcium oxalate crystals which can cause irritation to the mouth, lips, and esophagus.
