Red Chinese Evergreen
Aglaonema commutatum (red cultivar)
Easy-going and forgiving, a lovely one to live with.
- Light. Likes bright, everyday light; a step back from the window is perfect.
- Water. Likes a drink once the top inch of soil has dried out.
- Humidity. Happy in average household humidity.
- Soil. Pot her in a regular, well-draining houseplant mix.
- Growth. A steady, well-mannered grower.
Best kept up high, out of reach of pets and children who like to nibble.
Tolerates low to medium light but colours pop brightest in bright indirect light. Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Enjoys average to moderate humidity. Easy care, but keep away from pets as it is toxic to cats and dogs.
