One of the most common interior landscape plants is the Aglaonema plant, or the Chinese Evergreen plant. Aglaonema "Diamond Bay" is easy care and can be maintained at the lower light levels often found in the home or office environment. The "Diamond Bay" is just one of many Aglaonema plants used as houseplants and office plants.
Aglaonema "Diamond Bay" is a great looking Aglaonema. The leaf is larger that the Aglaomena "Emerald Beauty" and is about 12 inches or more in length. The leaves of Aglaonema "Diamond Bay" has a darker green leaf margin with a silver-green, irregular edged center. To keep the leaf size and good color, provide a bright light situation for this beautiful Aglaonema plant variety.
Aglaonema is an attractive, easy to care for plant and is on my list of best houseplants. Aglaonema "Diamond Bay" plants can be maintained at the lower light levels often found in the home or office. Although there are many varieties of this plant, the care for all Aglaonemas is very similar.
Some common Aglaonema varieties are the Aglaonema Emerald Beauty, Silver Queen and the Aglaonema Silver Bay. Aglaonemas have a bush-like or clumping growth and, depending on the pot size, can be from 8 inches to 4 feet in height. The Aglaonema "Diamond Bay" has been around for awhile and is often used as an interior landscape plant but many not be available at your typical garden retail center.

Working in the interior landscape industry, I get a lot of questions from people about their personal house plants and how to keep their own indoor house plants growing and healthy. That is why I started this website, to help others learn how to care for their indoor plants and flowers. So please read on!
Hi Plant and Flower People!
I started this website in 2012 while helping my younger brother through a fight with terminal cancer. Between shopping, cleaning, cooking, laundry, doctor/hospital visits, and other tasks to help him, I taught myself HTML/CSS and other skills used in creating a website. My brother had a very successful stock photography website himself and his advice to me was to make a website about something you know.
I had left a job in the interior landscape industry in 2012 (I have worked in the interior landscape industry since 1986) to go across the country to help him out. So that became the subject of this website, indoor house plant and flower care.
It costs money for hosting service, domain fees, etc. to keep websites running. That is why I have third party ads/Amazon products and other affiliate links on webpages. Please use them if they are helpful to you as I earn commissions/ad revenue through them and they help pay costs for hosting, domain name, etc.
If you need some help with the general care of your indoor plants and flowers, read about basic houseplant care. You can also email houseplant care questions or requests for help identifying your mysterious indoor plant!
Please also consider supporting this website with a donation, if you can. Any help is appreciated. Hope you find some helpful information here. Thank you and read on Plant People!
Almost all Aglaonema plant varieties are variegated to some extent. Keep in mind that the variegated types need more light than those with less variegation. Typically, the lighter the color of a plant, the higher the light levels it needs to maintain its color and variegation.
If you place your Aglaonema in high light, you can allow the potting mix to dry approximately one-half to three-fourths of the way out before watering thoroughly. In a lower light situation, you can allow soil to dry completely between watering. Please read the section on watering for more on the most important part of your plant care.
Aglaonema Diamond Bay is a great plant for just about any location except full sun. Full sun, especially through glass, can burn or scorch the leaves of a plant. Aglaonema Diamond Bay plants will survive in low light but to keep your house plant looking nice, try to provide bright, diffused natural light. Aglaonema does well under artificial fluorescent light also. That makes this attractive, easy care plant ideal for use in professional office space.
Temperatures for Aglaonema Diamond Bay should not be below 60°F. Aglaomena are not cold tolerant plants and should do well in average home temperatures. May need to be moved away from doors or windows in the winter time if you live in an area that is often below freezing.
Problems with Aglaonema should be few. They are prone to stem and root rot if the soil is kept overly wet. Aglaonema will become leggy if kept in low light for extended periods of time.

Mealy bugs are one of the most common insect problems that you may have with Aglaonema Diamond Bay. An oval shaped, somewhat flattened body and six legs distinguish this insect, although they can appear to have more legs because of their "antennae" and "tails". They also have a fringe around the body. A waxy, protective substance covers the body of adults and egg sacs giving them a cottony appearance.
Mealy bugs excrete a sticky substance called honeydew. You may see or feel it on the leaves. They normally are found in hidden areas, the undersides of the leaves or in leaf axils. Keep an eye out for these and other pests, especially when you first bring any new plant home to add to your houseplant collection.
Treat new additions to your plant family for a week or two with a spray mixture of mild liquid dish soap and water. I like to add a few drops of Eucalyptus essential oil or Orange essential oil to my house plant cleaning solution. Citrus and Eucalyptus are often used as natural insect repellents. Treat until run off, or use a sponge dampened with the mixture to gently clean all parts of your Aglaonema plant. You must be sure to hit the undersides of the leaves and the stems also. Cleaning should be a regular part of your indoor plant care.
Never apply anything to the foliage of your plant while it is in the sun or when the soil is dry. Water first and move to a shady location. I hope this indoor, house plant care information has been helpful in keeping your Aglaonema "Diamond Bay" plant looking good and that all of your flowers and plants are healthy and growing.
