I believe that those who have been back to the countryside have seen a lot of rare and beautiful flowers and plants in the rural mountains. Among them, the plant that is common and unique in the countryside is none other than "Aglaonema commutatum 'Pseudobracteatum'". This plant has large irregular silver - gray patches on both sides of its leaves, and the leaf edges and mid - ribs are dark green. It has a strong growth ability and is particularly prone to branching, so it can be seen everywhere in the fields.
Compared with other similar green plants, the leaves of "Aglaonema commutatum 'Pseudobracteatum'" are large and wide. Therefore, it has a certain air - purifying effect when placed around. In recent years, many office workers like to place it in front of the computer to enhance their own image. However, the biggest fear in maintaining this kind of pure - green - leafed plant is the yellowing of the leaves. So, how should we deal with such a situation?
First of all, when maintaining "Aglaonema commutatum 'Pseudobracteatum'" in the office, the most easily overlooked problem is the light. It itself likes sufficient light. Therefore, if it cannot be given reasonable light on a daily basis, it may cause the leaves to turn yellow or fall off due to the inability to absorb photosynthesis. However, although it likes light, the light in summer is relatively hot, so extra attention needs to be paid to shading at this time to prevent "Aglaonema commutatum 'Pseudobracteatum'" from being sunburned. If it is sunburned, the yellow leaves need to be removed in a timely manner, and it should be placed in a cool and ventilated place for maintenance. At the same time, it can be sprayed with water appropriately to enable the plant to recover as soon as possible.
Secondly, in terms of daily watering of "Aglaonema commutatum 'Pseudobracteatum'", it likes moist soil. Therefore, the soil should never be watered when it is dry, otherwise it is easy to cause yellowing due to lack of water. When watering, it must be slowly poured along the edge of the pot, and try to let every inch of its roots absorb water. In addition, watering can be changed according to the four seasons. Among them, in summer, because the temperature is relatively high and the water evaporates quickly, the frequency of watering needs to be increased appropriately.
Finally, there is the fertilization step that many people overlook. Fertilization can be said to be one of the actions that can promote the better growth of plants. It can keep the leaves green. If there is a lack of fertilization in daily life, the later growth of "Aglaonema commutatum 'Pseudobracteatum'" may stagnate. Therefore, it is recommended to use fertilizer once about every half a month. At the same time, when fertilizing, attention should be paid to diluting it with water so as to avoid the phenomenon of fertilizer damage caused by over - concentrated fertilizer.
