Pink Aglaonema Plants should be watered relatively infrequently, as the plants like to dry out some between waterings. The easiest way to tell if a plant needs to be watered is by the weight of the container. If the pot is heavy and the foliage is upright, chances are good, the plant doesn't need water, whereas a light container and limp leaves mean the plant needs some water.

If the planting soil becomes extremely dry, it is often difficult to get it to soak up water. Soaking the dry soil in a small dish or saucer can be a useful way to solve this problem. If you're unsure if the plant needs water, it is always better to let the plant go another day instead of drenching it with water as the water pushes air out of the root zone, and repeatedly doing this can cause root rot.

When you've decided to re-pot your new Pink Aglaonema Plants, we suggest "bumping" it up into a container that is 2 inches larger in diameter, and 2 inches deeper than the container it is currently in. Make sure that the pot you choose has a drainage hole in the bottom. It's also a good idea to put an inch or so of gravel at the bottom of the pot before transplanting. This allows the water to drain away and the roots at the bottom of the pot to not sit in saturated soil. The additional weight from the gravel will help the plant stay upright as it grows.

Additionally, it never hurts to place a saucer with a layer of decorative gravel under the plant. This will collect any water that drains from the pot when you water protecting your desk or furniture but also allows the water to dissipate into the air surrounding the plant, which will raise the humidity level.

Use a well-draining potting mix, such as Espoma Organic Potting Soil, and be sure to lightly ruffle the roots when transplanting. It is also recommended to add a slow-release fertilizer to the new potting mix. Osmocote Plus Fertilizer can be mixed into the potting soil and will continually feed your Pink Aglaonema for up to 90 days each time you water.

The most common cause of plant death after transplanting is that the plant was planted too deep in the pot. That is why we do not recommend covering the existing potting soil with new soil. A good rule of thumb is that you should still be able to see the original soil the plant was grown in after planting in the new pot.
