Aglaonema Thai Red

Aglaonema Thai Red (also sold as Thailand Red, Valentine Aglaonema, or similar red Aglaonema varieties) is a tropical Chinese Evergreen known for its vibrant red, pink and green foliage. This ornamental plant adds bold colour to interiors and is a popular choice for homes, offices, and indoor gardens due to its attractive look and relative ease of care. Its leaves are typically lance-shaped or oval with rich red/pink tones concentrated toward the centre and green edges.

🌞 Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light, which helps maintain its vivid colors.

• Can tolerate medium to low light, though foliage colors may be less intense in lower light.

• Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the leaves.

💧 Watering

• Water when the top 1–2 inches (2.5–5 cm) of soil are dry.

• Keep the soil slightly moist but not waterlogged — soggy soil can lead to root rot.

• In winter or cooler conditions, reduce watering frequency.

🪴 Soil & Potting

• A well-draining potting mix is essential — peat moss with perlite or orchid bark is ideal.

• Good drainage prevents water from collecting at the roots and avoids rot.

• Repot every 2–3 years or when roots start crowding the pot.

🌱 Feeding

• Fertilize during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4–6 weeks.

• Skip or reduce feeding in fall/winter when growth slows.

✂️ Maintenance Tips

• Prune off any yellow, damaged, or dead leaves to keep the plant tidy and encourage new growth.

• Wipe leaves gently with a damp cloth to remove dust and help the plant photosynthesize efficiently.

• Regular inspection for pests (e.g., spider mites) helps catch issues early.
