About

Spring Snow is a widely available Aglaonema cultivar carrying heavy cream and white speckling over a green blade, giving mature leaves a frosted, almost snow-dusted appearance. Like most Aglaonema cultivars it is a compact, clumping, extremely low-maintenance houseplant, tolerant of low light and irregular watering, which has made it a mainstay of UK offices and low-fuss interior planting.

Care Guide

Growing Conditions

Standard well-draining houseplant mix: 60% potting compost, 25% perlite, 15% orchid bark.

Watering

Water when the top 3-4 cm of substrate is dry — tolerant of irregular watering.

Humidity

40-60% is well tolerated; no special humidity requirements.

Fertilising

Balanced liquid fertiliser at half strength every 4-6 weeks in spring and summer.

Repotting

Every 18-24 months, or when root-bound.

Common Problems

Problem

Faded variegation

Cause

Too much direct light, which can bleach the leaf

Fix

Keep in medium indirect light rather than direct sun

Problem

Yellow leaves

Cause

Overwatering

Fix

Allow the substrate to dry more between waterings

Low-Light Reliability, Frosted Look

Spring Snow does what most commercial Aglaonema cultivars do well: survive genuinely poor light and inconsistent care while still looking presentable, here with an extra frosted, speckled texture that reads as more interesting than plain green Aglaonema commutatum.
