Hi Brown spots on your Aglaonema could be caused by various factors. Here's how to identify the issue and address it: Possible Causes: 1. Overwatering or Root Rot Symptoms: Soft brown spots, yellowing leaves, or wilting. Solution: Check the roots. If they are mushy and smell bad, trim the rotten parts and repot the plant in fresh, well-draining soil. Water only when the top 2 inches of soil feel dry. 2. Underwatering Symptoms: Dry, crispy brown spots on leaves. Solution: Ensure the soil is consistently moist but not soggy. Water the plant thoroughly and let excess water drain out. 3. Low Humidity Symptoms: Brown tips or edges on the leaves. Solution: Increase humidity by misting, using a pebble tray, or placing the plant near a humidifier. 4. Pest Infestation Symptoms: Tiny brown spots, yellowing leaves, or visible pests like spider mites, mealybugs, or scale. Solution: Inspect the plant closely. Wipe leaves with a cotton swab dipped in diluted neem oil or insecticidal soap. 5. Fungal or Bacterial Infection Symptoms: Irregular-shaped brown spots with yellow halos. Solution: Remove affected leaves and improve air circulation. Use a fungicide or antibacterial spray. 6. Sunburn Symptoms: Brown patches on leaves exposed to direct sunlight. Solution: Move the plant to bright, indirect light. Aglaonemas prefer shade or filtered light. 7. Nutrient Deficiency Symptoms: Browning alongside yellowing or pale leaves. Solution: Feed the plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season. Treatment Steps: 1. Diagnose the cause based on the symptoms. 2. Remove affected leaves with sterilized scissors to prevent spreading. 3. Adjust care as needed: improve watering, light, humidity, or pest control. 4. Monitor the plant over time and repeat treatments if necessary. Let me know if you need help with further diagnosis!
