The Silver Interior
Aglaonema - sold as Silver Bay
Broad silvery-gray centers and green margins give the named Silver Bay hybrid its quiet contrast. Grow it in indirect light and let the potting mix dry slightly between waterings.

Provide indirect light, sheltered from scorching sun. Green and silver aglaonemas can grow in lower-light rooms. [12]
During active growth, use a houseplant fertilizer according to its label. Pause feeding when growth rests. [8]
Use fresh medium, keep the plant at its existing depth and water it in. Let excess drain. [2]
Remove dead or yellowing leaves. Wipe dusty foliage with a soft, damp cloth. [13]
Check moisture first. [3]
Review light exposure. [3]
Reduce watering frequency in winter, while continuing to check the mix. Aglaonemas require no winter dormancy. [14]
Aglaonemas are toxic to cats and dogs. Chewing can cause mouth irritation, drooling or vomiting. Keep plants, fallen leaves and cuttings away from pets that chew them. [16]
Take a pet with trouble breathing or swallowing directly to a veterinary hospital. [16]
Aglaonema is harmful if eaten; its sap can irritate skin and eyes. [17]
Wear gloves when cutting, and keep sap away from skin and eyes. [17]
For suspected poisoning or signs of illness, contact your veterinarian or ASPCA Poison Control at 888-426-4435. Provide the botanical name. [5]
Keep plants, cuttings and loose potting material beyond young children's reach. Keep the botanical name with the pot. [6]
