A: I would let the plant acclimate for while and check the roots in a month or so. If overgrown, then maybe repot but if you can wait til spring that would be ideal. If by spring it's still okay, I would replace the top soil and leave it in its pot. The plant will let you when it's ready to be repotted.
A: rule of thumb is to give the plant 30 days to get used to new environment before repotting. In my experience agleonema aren't too picky about soil - any good quality indoor potting mix should work fine. ALWAYS use a pot with drainage holes 1-2" bigger than the one it's in. I usually don't replace soil unless the plant needs a bigger pot - if it looks healthy and is growing, leave it alone.
A: Any plant can be repotted in a clean,noncorrosive planter. I order my soil in a box from Home Depot. Allow the plant to grow for awhile in the grower pot before re-potting. Find the right spot in ur home w/light exposure that is optimal for your plant.
A: It won't die in low light but it won't thrive.

A: Hi Betty, Leaves could turn brown for various reasons. For the best advice, we would love to see a photo of your plant at questions@costafarms.com.
A: If the leaves turned crispy around the edges possibly too much direct sun. If more than one leaf starts turning yellow possibly overwatering.
A: I find that if the plants sort of melting off after turning brown it is definitely a watering issue, if you miss too many waterings they will melt off. I find these very temperamental.
