Dracena dorata, commonly referred to as Aglaonema, is a captivating genus of tropical and subtropical plants renowned for their striking foliage. The genus includes around 21 species, each boasting unique leaf patterns, sizes, and colors. Aglaonema plants are prized for their ornamental value and are popular both as pianta di appartamentos and garden specimens.

Guida alla cura

Luce

Dracena dorata (Aglaonema) is one of the most adaptable pianta di appartamentos for condizioni di poca luce - it genuinely thrives where other plants struggle. Deep green varieties (e.g. Aglaonema Maria) handle the lowest light. Variegated and coloured forms (red, pink, silver) require brighter indirect light to maintain their colouring. evitare il sole diretto for all varieties - brucia le foglie.

Acqua

Allow the top 3-4 cm of soil to dry tra un'innaffiatura e l'altra, then innaffiare abbondantemente. Dracena dorata tolerates periods of drought much better than overwatering. foglie gialle and steli molli indicano innaffiature eccessive. Reduce frequency significantly in winter. Use acqua a temperatura ambiente - acqua fredda shocks the roots.

Substrato

ben drenante miscela di terriccio with added perlite (3:1). Standard potting compost with good drainage is sufficient. Slightly acidic pH (5.5-6.5).

Temperatura e umidità

Optimal 18-27 °C; minimum 13 °C. Sensitive to cold - avoid temperatures below 10 °C and cold drafts (causes patches of pale discolouration on leaves). umidità media dell'ambiente interno is adequate; umidità piu elevata promotes more vigorous growth.

Concimazione

concimare mensilmente during primavera e estate with a equilibrato concime liquido at a mezza concentrazione. Stop in autunno e inverno. Light feeding is sufficient.

Potatura

rimuovere i vecchi or foglie gialle at the base. Dracena dorata is extremely long-lived and tolerant of neglect - it is an excellent choice for principiantes, offices and low-maintenance situations. Contains ossalato di calcio - tossico per cats and dogs.

Propagazione

Divisione

The most common method for propagating Aglaonema is by divisione. This involves separating the rizomi or tuberi during repotting. Ensure the parent plant is healthy before proceeding.

1
Carefully remove the plant from its pot and gently shake off excess soil to expose the roots.
2
Locate natural divisiones in the root ball where new shoots are emerging.
3
Use a sharp, sterilized knife to cut the rizomi or tuberi, ensuring each divisione has at least one shoot and some roots.
4
Plant each divisione in a separate pot with a ben drenante miscela di terriccio, innaffiare abbondantemente, and place in bright, indirect light.
Polloni / figli

Some Aglaonema species produce offset, or "pups," which can be separated from the parent plant and potted individually.

1
Gently pull or cut the offset from the base of the parent plant.
2
Pot the offset in a small container with a ben drenante miscela di terriccio.
3
Water lightly and keep in a warm, humid environment with indirect light.

Domande frequenti

Can Aglaonema really survive in very dark rooms?
The deep green varieties (Maria, Emerald Beauty) are among the most shade-tolerant pianta di appartamentos available and survive in quite dim conditions. Coloured varieties (red, pink) need more light to maintain their colour. Even the most tolerant varieties perform better with some natural light.
Why are my Aglaonema leaves developing cold patches or pale spots?
Cold patches or translucent spots usually indicate acqua fredda, cold air from an open window, or temperatures below 10 °C. Move away from cold drafts and use acqua a temperatura ambiente. Existing cold damage will not reverse but new growth should come in clean.
Is Dracena dorata toxic?
Yes. All Aglaonema species contain ossalato di calcio crystals that cause burning and irritation if ingested by cats, dogs or humans. Keep away from pets.
