Aglaonema 'Red Emerald' Ø12cm

Aglaonema 'Red Emerald' is an elegant cultivar from the Araceae family known as Chinese Evergreen, with large glossy emerald-green lanceolate leaves and ruby accents on the central vein and petiole. Classic botanical elegance with a note of chromatic refinement, perfect for offices or modern living rooms. Bred in Thailand. Care instructions Aglaonema 'Red Emerald' is one of the most tolerant colorful plants - perfect for beginners. Growth is moderate: the plant produces new leaves regularly, and at maturity reaches impressive dimensions of 60-80 cm in height. Light: moderate to bright indirect; tolerates lower light surprisingly well, although red accents intensify with more intense light. Avoid direct midday sun. East- or west-facing windowsill ideal. Temperature: 20-28°C optimal; prefers to stay above 16°C. Protect from cold drafts in winter. Watering: moderate; water when the top layer of substrate (2-3 cm) has dried. About once a week in summer, every 10-14 days in winter. Allow the substrate to drain well, as constantly soggy soil can lead to root rot. Humidity: 50-70% ideal; tolerates 40% as well. Weekly leaf misting keeps the plant vital. Substrate: airy, well-drained - aroid mix (peat + perlite + pine bark + activated charcoal). Fertilization: every 3-4 weeks during the growing season, with balanced liquid fertilizer diluted by half. Propagation: via division or stem cuttings; spring is optimal. Warning: Aglaonema contains insoluble calcium oxalates, toxic if ingested by humans and pets. Place the plant out of reach of small children and curious pets. Use gloves when repotting - sap can irritate sensitive skin. In case of ingestion, consult a veterinarian immediately. Specifications Pot diameter: 12 cm Total height (incl. pot): 30 cm
