Aglaia is a plant most of us are fairly familiar with; even if we have never actually seen one, we have all heard its name. In fact, Aglaia is not only an ornamental plant, it is also an edible flower that can be made into flower tea for people to consume. What we are going to discuss today is a problem that often arises during the cultivation of Aglaia, namely what to do when white spots appear on Aglaia leaves.

I. White spots on Aglaia leaves
In fact, when white spots appear on Aglaia leaves, it is usually caused by the plant suffering from a disease, namely powdery mildew, which plants commonly encounter. Those with richer growing experience are quite skilled at dealing with this kind of disease; generally we can choose chemical control, for example chemical agents such as carbendazim have fairly good curative effects against this disease.
Generally speaking, if a plant develops a disease, the process usually starts from a small number of leaves or even a single leaf and gradually spreads to the whole plant. Therefore, during our care routine, if we see diseased leaves appear, the first thing we should do is remove them promptly, otherwise they can easily infect other leaves.

II. How to care for Aglaia
1. Temperature
This plant originally grows in the subtropics, so during care, be careful that the temperature difference across the four seasons is best not too large, especially when growing it in northern China. The most suitable growing temperature for Aglaia is 20-25°C, and the lowest winter temperature is best not below 5°C, so that the healthy growth of Aglaia can be ensured. In daily life, placing them in a sunny, well-ventilated and relatively dry spot indoors or outdoors is fine.

2. Fertilizing
Aglaia has a very long flowering period and blooms many times, so nutrients must be replenished in time; after each flowering, nutrients must be replenished promptly to promote the growth of Aglaia. Summer and autumn each year are the main flowering periods for Aglaia, and during this time attention should be paid to increasing the application of phosphorus fertilizer.

The above is what Qinnong Net introduces to everyone about solutions for white spots on Aglaia leaves. Aglaia is very common in southern China, and we hope this article can be of some help to friends growing Aglaia.
