The Tiger Jaws plant, or Aglaonema, is an easy-to-care-for houseplant with numerous benefits. It is believed to bring good fortune and positive energy to your home, warding off negative influences and purifying the air.
This plant is also known for its medicinal properties, being effective in treating digestive issues, oral infections, burns, skin wounds, and acne. Despite its resilience, there are a few things to keep in mind when caring for the Tiger Jaws plant.
Avoid planting in compact soil: Tiger Jaws prefer well-drained, loose soil. Plant them in sandy or gravelly soil to ensure proper drainage, as they don’t like soggy roots. Compact soil, such as clay or heavy garden soil, can lead to root rot and leaf decay.
Don’t overwater: Overwatering is a common mistake with this plant. Due to their water-storing capabilities, they don’t require frequent watering. Water your Tiger Jaws only when the soil is completely dry, once a week should suffice.
Light: While they can tolerate low light conditions, they thrive in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, especially for hybrid varieties, as they are more sensitive to intense sunlight.
Avoid excessive nitrogen: Too much nitrogen will cause leaf discoloration and decay. Occasional watering with fermented rice water or soybean soak is sufficient for their nutritional needs.
Avoid cold temperatures: Tiger Jaws are tropical plants and do not tolerate cold drafts or direct exposure to air conditioning. Keep them away from vents and direct airflow to maintain a warm environment.
Of all the things to avoid, overwatering and cold temperatures are the most critical. Pay close attention to your plant’s watering needs and keep it in a warm, draft-free space.
Flowering: Tiger Jaws plants rarely flower indoors, but if they do, take note of the sap. The flower’s sap can drip onto the leaves, causing unsightly stains. Use a tissue to gently wipe away any sap to maintain the leaves’ appearance.
Leaf cleaning: Dust buildup is common on the leaves over time. Use a damp, soft cloth to gently wipe down the leaves, restoring their shine and maintaining the plant’s aesthetic and feng shui value.
