Why does your Aglaonema commutatum have white cottony spots? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
Mealybugs are small, soft-bodied insects that secrete a white, waxy, cotton-like substance to protect themselves. They feed on the sap of Aglaonema, often clustering in the leaf axils and junctions.
Certain species of scale insects produce a fluffy, white appearance that mimics cotton. These pests attach to the stems of Chinese Evergreens and can weaken the plant over time by extracting nutrients.
In high-humidity environments with poor air circulation, certain fungi can manifest as white, fuzzy patches on leaf surfaces. This is often accompanied by soft, decaying tissue on the foliage.
