Aglaonema 'Silver King' thrives when transplanted in the prime season of mid-to-late spring, ensuring it has optimal light and warmth. Choose a spot with indirect sunlight and good drainage to promote healthy growth.

Pruning
Spring, Summer, Fall
Characterized by its striking variegated leaves, aglaonema 'Silver King' benefits significantly from pruning to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. The best time to prune is during the active growth phases in spring, summer, and early fall. Regular trimming of any yellow or dead leaves and occasional cutting back of overly long stems promotes healthier, denser foliage. Pruning not only enhances its appearance but also prevents disease by improving air circulation within the foliage.
Pruning techniques 
Propagation
Spring,Summer
Aglaonema 'Silver King' can be effectively propagated using stem cuttings. To do this, take healthy, disease-free stems and cut them into sections that include at least one leaf node. Plant the stem sections in a well-draining, moisture-retentive growing medium. Maintain the humidity by covering the setup with plastic and place it in indirect light. Roots typically develop within a few weeks, after which the new plants can be transferred to individual pots.
