Aglaonema 'Silver Moon'
Aglaonema 'Silver Moon' has broad leaves with a silver-green central zone and dark green margins. The pale centre follows the length of the blade, while the darker edge creates a two-tone leaf pattern.
Short internodes and freely branching stems create a dense, rounded plant. The leaves stay close together as the plant matures, forming a rounded clump in the pot with a silver centre on each mature blade.
Silver-centred foliage on Aglaonema 'Silver Moon'
- Leaf colour: Silver-green central leaf zone with dark green margins.
- Leaf shape: Broad leaves with a rounded to obtuse base.
- Petiole length: Short petioles keep the leaves close to the stem.
- Stem structure: Thick stems with short internodes.
- Growth habit: Dense, rounded, freely branching clump.
- Container behaviour: Short internodes keep the leaves close as the plant fills a medium pot.
Dense growth in Aglaonema 'Silver Moon'
Aglaonema 'Silver Moon' grows from thick, short-jointed stems that hold the leaves close together. This structure gives the plant a rounded outline over time and keeps the leaves grouped around the stems.
The silvered leaf centres can scorch under direct sun, while the dense root zone needs an airy mix that drains after watering. Watering should moisten the root ball evenly and then allow oxygen back into the mix.
Growing Aglaonema 'Silver Moon' indoors
- Light: Bright filtered light is enough for firm, compact growth. Direct sun can burn the silver-green centres.
- Water: Water once the upper 2–3 cm of substrate have dried, then let excess water drain fully.
- Substrate: Use an airy mix with bark, perlite or mineral material so the dense root zone does not stay saturated.
- Temperature: Keep above 13 °C and away from cold draughts around the pot.
- Humidity: Moderate humidity reduces dry edges as broad leaves unfold.
- Feeding: Feed lightly in active growth and avoid strong fertiliser doses, which can cause brown tips.
- Pot choice: Use a pot with drainage and move up gradually when the root ball has filled the container.
Aglaonema 'Silver Moon' leaf and stem checks
- Scorched centres: Pale silver-green leaf areas can burn in direct sun.
- Yellow lower leaves: Check for cold, wet substrate before watering again.
- Brown tips: Fertiliser salt build-up, dry air or irregular watering can affect broad leaves.
- Stem softness: Dense growth can trap moisture if the potting mix stays wet for too long.
- Pests: Dense growth can hide scale or mealybugs at stem joints; check leaf undersides if new leaves distort or turn sticky.
- Slow growth: Low light, cool roots or an exhausted substrate can reduce new leaf production.
Aglaonema 'Silver Moon' safety
Keep Aglaonema 'Silver Moon' away from pets and children that may chew the leaves or stems. Aglaonema contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can irritate the mouth, throat and skin after chewing or sap contact.
Cultivated background for Aglaonema 'Silver Moon'
Aglaonema belongs to Araceae and the genus occurs naturally from north-east India to Papua New Guinea. The name combines Greek aglaos, meaning bright or clear, and nema, meaning thread, in reference to the stamens.
Aglaonema 'Silver Moon' is a patented hybrid cultivar selected in Florida from self-pollination of Aglaonema 'Silver Bay'. It develops compact rounded growth, freely branching stems, short internodes, broad leaves and silver-green centres with dark green margins.

Has me feeling prepared
Format: Paperback
Gearing up to hike the first section of the PCT. I got this book, my hiking buddy got a different book that covers the entire trail. While talking about our hiking plans he often says “my book didn’t mention that.” It’s clear this book is more detailed and up to date. I’m feeling very prepared and in the know about what to expect on the PCT.

The Best of the Modern Guides to the PCT.
Format: Paperback
This book is not an update of the Wilderness Press classics on which the trail was discovered and hiked by a couple generations from the 1970s to around 2010. It does however owe those books a heavy and unacknowledged debt. This is most notable in lettering sections which the author of this guide, Shawnte Salabert, attributes to the PCTA but in fact come from scarified, Schaffer, et all who wrote the original guides to California, Oregon, and Washington. Even the definition of sweat constitutes the Southern California trail, comes from those guides. (It starts at the Mexican Border near Campo California and ends in Tuolumne Meadows, Yosemite.). But alas, those books are long out of print, in part because today’s hikers prefer light weight apps with minimal trail information as opposed to detailed descriptions of the physical geography and varied ecosystems of the trail. I’m not sure the lost knowledge has equaled the reduced weight but I’m a bit old school.
And this book is as much a throwback to that kind of writing as it is a nod to recent demands of the hiking community. It does cover every mile of the route, suggest campsites along the way, and as much as possible provide an option for day and section hikes along the trail for just about anyone. The author provides good car descriptions to major trailheads for each section hike he recommends as well as available entry and exit options along the way. The writing is entertaining and the author has his own sense of humor that will become readily apparent as you read the text. Based on my experiences (and I’ve hiked 95% of the trail he describes at least once; sometimes multiple times) his mileage descriptions are accurate and you will easily be able to recognize the places he describes along the way. The book also features nice color photos and it’s availability in digital form will certainly please the gram counting hiker set. On the other hand, I miss seeing elevations along with miles at each major trail intersection, pass etc. Salabert does give total elevation gain and loss for each section of trail he describes but sometimes it’s nice to know just how much of a climb to expect.
Ultimately, this book fulfills it’s purpose. You should want to hike the PCT after reading a few pages if you hadn’t already when you purchased the book. And if you are like many people with only a weekend or a few days to spare hiking the trail, this book will make planning short sections easier. It offers a lot. But it reminds me of an era when guidebooks offered even more.

Superb Guide in All Respects
Format: Paperback
An invaluable reference for anybody interested in section hiking the trail. I especially appreciate the coverage of water and campsites. It’s also a fun and beautiful read for any armchair adventurer. Salabert did an amazing job bringing together well-written text, data, maps, and beautiful photos to create a comprehensive guidebook. Deserves to do very well.

Truly embracing life along the Camino de Santiago
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
The Way of the Wind: Embracing Life While Walking the Camino do Santiago, by John W. Pearson, 2021, recounts one man’s experiences while walking the Camino de Santiago, a thirty-five day, five hundred mile walking journey from St. Jean Pied de Port in France to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. The journey follows a path tread by literally millions of pilgrims, or “pelegrinos”, as they seek to find something very person in the experience. The book is a travelogue recounting the miles of the daily trek, the people, stories, dining, lodging, and local services encountered along the way. There are a series of black and white photographs accenting the dialogue which give the reader a sense of involvement in the story. A nice touch was a simple map at the beginning to orient the reader along each day’s travel.
I absolutely loved this book. It was enjoyable to read and I found myself slowing down near the end of the book to better savor the details. It warrants a double read to go back and let those early experiences soak in a bit more.
I found the book to be educational, as I learned a lot about the historical significance of the route of the Camino, as well as specific landmarks along the way, such as a 10th century Roman bridge dwarfed by a new modern bridge overhead. I imagined myself walking along that ancient roadway, imagining what a pilgrim in 1300 must have thought.
The dialogue is playful, recount with hours of walking, lively dinners, and crowded “albergues” (think camp dorm rooms with bunk beds).
All was not rosy along the Camino. The narrative relates the aches of sore feet, legs, backs; the challenges of securing lodging and laundry; meanings lost in translation; inclement weather and treacherous roadways. Often mentioned are markers to honor the fallen dead along the Camino.
About 2/3rds through the book, John recants his very personal reason for going on the pilgrimage, which he describes as “The Whale in the Room”, referring to the motivation of Captain Ahab in Moby Dick. His honesty and vulnerability bring the entire journey into focus. He brings the reader to the Cruz de Ferro, where pilgrims have stopped for millennium with their deepest meanings.
I have known John Pearson since 1975, when we met in High School in El Paso, Texas. However, through the years, I moved and we lost close touch. There were many parts of this book of which I did not know the details. John’s story is very powerful, and will impact the reader deeply.
Once you have read the book, you will have a clear idea of the experience, and can judge for yourself if the Camino de Santiago is calling you. For me, I found the book asking me not “WILL you go?”, but “WHEN will you go?”
