• Transfer. To increase the space for the flower to grow, it is necessary to gradually increase the pot. During this, soil replacement is possible.

Aglaonema flowers rarely appear, they are inconspicuous and small. To prevent the inflorescences from taking away strength from the bush, gardeners often break them out at the embryonic stage. If you want to see red fruits instead of the off-white cob, flowers can be left.

If all the conditions were met, but the bush from below still began to bare and there are no signs of the appearance of new plants, it is not worth throwing out the bush. In some cases, this behavior of the plant is a sign of aging.
The rejuvenation procedure for a flower will be breaking off the stem almost at the base. After such a procedure, dormant buds will wake up on the rest of the plant and a young dense bush with a large number of shoots will begin to grow. For propagation of aglaonema, it is good to root the apical and stem cuttings.
