Aglaonema ‘China red’

Description:
Aglaonema 'China Red' is a striking and low-maintenance houseplant, prized for its bold red and green foliage that brings a vibrant touch to any indoor space. Its lush, colorful leaves make it a popular choice for homes and offices, where it not only adds visual appeal but also helps improve air quality. Highly adaptable and easy to care for, Aglaonema 'China Red' is an excellent option for both beginners and experienced plant enthusiasts.

Watering:
Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, ensuring that excess water drains freely from the pot. While it enjoys consistent moisture, it is essential to avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. During the Winter months, reduce watering frequency as the plant’s growth slows.

Fertilizer:
Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (Spring and Summer) to encourage healthy growth and vibrant foliage. Reduce feeding in Fall and Winter when the plant enters a slower growth phase. 

Lighting:
Thrives in bright, indirect light, which enhances its vivid coloration. It can tolerate lower light conditions, though its colours may become less intense. Direct sunlight should be avoided, as it can scorch the leaves and cause discolouration.

Temperature:
Prefers temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Keep it away from cold drafts, heating vents, and sudden temperature fluctuations, as these can stress the plant and cause leaf damage.

Humidity:
Moderate to high humidity levels are ideal, but it can adapt to average indoor humidity. If the air is particularly dry, occasional misting, a humidity tray, or a humidifier can help maintain the plant’s lush appearance and prevent leaf crisping.
