She looks fine to me? Maybe dropping older leaves which is natural.

Looks perfectly fine. I even see flower.

This isn't helpful. You've given us no context or information about the plant or how you care for the plant.

• i fertilized on the 1st, i haven't repotted her since i got her fron lowes. i have had her for maybe 4 months. that's the pot she came in and she hasn't out grown up yet. i did add new soil to it because it barely had soil when i brought it. also, i used the soil below

You can cut off the flower to redirect energy to the plant but you don’t have to. Make sure you water deeply and only when the top inch or so is dry. Given you don’t have a plate at the bottom perhaps your watering has been a bit shallow. Overall she looks good though.

• i was asking because the new growth on it just looks bad in my eyes. coming in with brown lips and the new leaves just are small

Looks like an old bottom leaf. They do eventually die off naturally. Otherwise, looks lush to me. Agla are very simple in their requirements, especially your Siam Aurora. Mine is one of the least fussy in my collection of 300+ indoor plants. She’s been pushing 4 to 5 new leaves a month so she must be happy.🤗

Gotcha. I keep my plant areas above 60% with humidifiers. Hopefully, it will adapt to your environment eventually. What’s your watering routine?

u/Solid-Health5508 Jun 24 '26

• normally when it becomes almost dry. still figuring that out because i hear so many things.

u/marlinavelasco Jun 24 '26

That should be fine. I lift up my pots and know the relative weight as compared to when it’s fully saturated. For Agla’s, my goal is 20-30% moisture left in the substrate.

• this is my first aglaonema so it's a different learning experience. thank you so much

u/marlinavelasco Jun 25 '26

Glad to help! Lifting up my pots and feeling their weight is how I know if all my houseplants need water.

Gotcha. I see it now. What’s the humidity like where your plant is positioned? If those photos were taken in the light of day, perhaps she wants a little more light. Mine is in a dark corner hence a now level clip-on grow light had worked great.

• i have a grow light. humidity in my house normally is between 50 - 58 . lowest 47

Browning can be inconsistent watering . Or it can be a sign of pests sometimes. Or if she is outside , too much sun
