No, the Aglaonema Mahasetti is not pet-safe. It contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation to the mouth, tongue, and throat if ingested by pets.
Since this variety originates from humid rainforests, it appreciates higher moisture levels. You can increase humidity by grouping it with other plants, using a pebble tray, or placing it in a room with naturally higher humidity like a bathroom.
Water when the top inch or two of soil feels dry to the touch. It prefers to be kept slightly moist but not waterlogged, so ensure your pot has proper drainage to prevent root rot.
