Aglaonema Red Army 7cm

🌿 Aglaonema Red Army Care Guide

Aglaonema Red Army brings a serious splash of colour to the plant shelf, with rich red tones running through its foliage alongside deeper green. It has the naturally full, upright growth associated with Aglaonema, gradually forming a handsome clump of leaves from the base.

It isn’t a plant that needs constant fussing. Give it warmth, sensible watering and good filtered light, and it will happily settle into its space while producing fresh foliage.

☀️ Light

• Place in bright, filtered light to encourage healthy growth and maintain its colourful foliage.
• A little gentle morning sun can be fine, but protect the leaves from harsh afternoon sunshine.
• It will tolerate lower light than many highly variegated plants, although growth may become slower.
• If the red colouring appears less pronounced or new growth becomes stretched, try moving it somewhere brighter.

💧 Water

• Allow the top portion of the soil to dry slightly before watering again.
• Water thoroughly, allowing excess moisture to escape through the drainage holes.
• Don’t leave the pot sitting in water, as consistently wet soil can cause problems with the roots.
• During winter, reduce watering as the plant’s growth naturally slows.

🌫️ Humidity

• Aglaonema appreciates moderate humidity and will enjoy a little extra moisture in the air.
• Average household conditions are generally fine, provided the air isn’t extremely dry.
• Keep it away from radiators and other sources of hot, dry air.
• Good ventilation around the foliage is useful, particularly in more humid conditions.

🍽️ Feeding

• Feed during spring and summer when the plant is actively growing.
• Use a balanced liquid houseplant fertiliser diluted according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Feeding every few weeks during the growing season is usually sufficient.
• Ease off feeding during the darker winter months when new growth slows.

🌱 Quick Tips

• Use a loose, free-draining soil mix.
• Always choose a pot with drainage holes.
• Rotate the plant occasionally so it develops evenly.
• Remove yellowing or damaged leaves with clean scissors.
• Keep the foliage clean and check regularly around the leaf joints for pests.
• Don’t constantly move it around — Aglaonema generally appreciates having a consistent spot.
• Give it warmth; cold draughts and chilly windowsills aren’t its favourite conditions.
