Question
I bought a Emerald Bay house plan over this past summer. It's been doing well and has definitely grown. A few weeks ago, I noticed the bottom leaves were dying, I thought maybe it was "shedding" old leaves since at the time the upper leaves looked fine. About a week ago I noticed the plant beginning to wilt. I checked the leaves for any signs of bug, fungus etc and found nothing. I only water the plant every 2 weeks or so. It has done quite well up until now with that watering schedule. It is located in a cooler area by a window. I am thinking I either over watered it, or maybe it's too drafty? Although, we've has cold weather since November, and it's just recently began showing distress signs. Thank you for any help you can offer!

Answer
Hi Jessica,
   You are probably right that the temperature is harming the plant. Aglaonema are very sensitive to drafts and cold temperatures. Temperatures below 55 degrees can be lethal to Aglaonemas.  
You need to move the plant to a warmer location right away. It is best to place it in an area that is above 60 degrees.

Aglaonema are low to medium light plants so it will be okay in a lower light location for awhile.

After you move the plant be sure to water it properly so as to not cause the plant any additional stress. It is recommended that you should allow the top 1-2 inches of soil to dry between watering. Then water the plant until a small amount of water drains from the drainage holes in the bottom of the pot.

Hopefully you have corrected the problem in time and the plant will recover.

I hope this helps. If you have any questions or need additional information please don't hesitate to ask.
          Thanks
