Aglaonema (Chinese Evergreen) Sap Crystals: Normal, Not Pests

Crystals Are Normal

Clear sticky sap globules on leaf stems and undersides are natural for some Aglaonema species. Not pests or disease. Ignore or wipe with soapy water.

Stop Pesticides

Insecticidal soaps and systemics are unnecessary and harmful.

Real Problem: Repotting an Ailing Plant

• New larger pot + added soil = root rot risk.
• Aglaonemas need to be pot-bound.
• Bright indirect light + water when top ¼ soil dry.

Recovery depends on correcting potting and watering.
