Emerald Bay Aglaonema: Cold Damage Recovery

Emerald Bay Aglaonema: Cold Damage Recovery

Your Aglaonema 'Emerald Bay' wilting with bottom leaves dying? Cold drafts are the likely culprit—these tropicals die below 55°F.

Immediate Rescue

1. Move to 60°F+ location immediately.
2. Low light OK temporarily—recovery first, then bright indirect.
3. Water properly: Let top 1–2 inches dry, then water until slight drainage.

Why Aglaonemas Are Sensitive

Native to tropical understories, they have zero cold tolerance. Drafty windows, AC vents, or unheated rooms kill them fast.

Recovery Outlook

If caught early, they rebound well. New growth emerges from crown once warmth stabilizes.
