Propagating Chinese Evergreen

ivyinspiration

I am seeking insights into advanced propagation methodologies for Aglaonema species. In particular, I would like to discuss the comparative efficacy of in vitro versus ex vitro techniques. What specific hormone treatments and growth media have yielded the most consistent results in terms of rooting success and overall establishment? Additionally, how might varying light intensities and temperature regimes be optimized to improve propagation outcomes for this genus? Any empirical studies or technical data that could further elucidate these processes would be highly appreciated.

In my experience, applying a cytokinin like BA combined with a low level of auxin such as NAA in Murashige and Skoog medium carefully balances shoot proliferation and root induction for Aglaonema. Fine-tuning light intensities around 50–100 µmol·m⁻²·s⁻¹ and maintaining temperatures between 24–26°C seem crucial to optimizing outcomes.
