Why does your Aglaonema nitidum have white cottony spots? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
These small, soft-bodied insects secrete a white, waxy, cotton-like substance to protect themselves while feeding on the plant's sap. They often cluster in the leaf axils and crevices of Aglaonema nitidum.
Certain species of scale insects produce a white, fluffy coating that mimics cotton. They attach themselves firmly to the stems or leaf undersides of the Glossy Chinese Evergreen and suck nutrients.
This fungal pathogen manifests as white, powdery patches on the leaf surface. While less common in high-humidity environments preferred by Aglaonema, poor air circulation can trigger outbreaks.
