I'm on my second "Siam Aurora" aglaonema. The last one got too leggy after a few years and I just "let it go." I didn't mean to get it again, but here we are. This summer all of our plants were severely neglected for almost two months. Siam Aurora not only handled neglect like a champ, but also sent up several suckers. Some aglaonemas sucker more readily than others. I wonder if, in this case, it was the drought that stimulated the plant to sucker? The old plant never suckered, which was the cause of its eventual demise.
Does any have knowledge or experience of aglaonemas' suckering behavior?
I like leafy plants that look full and lush, so I love aglaonemas. But some of them (the red ones it seems) get too leggy after a while. If there's a way to force or stimulate suckers, that would change everything!
