Aglaonema 'Rose Red' Ø12cm

Aglaonema 'Rose Red' is a pink jewel - an indoor plant that captures hearts with glossy leaves painted in shades of emerald green and romantic rose-red. Like an eternal blossom, this tropical cultivar turns any corner of the home into a dream decor, full of color and charm. Care instructions Light: Aglaonema 'Rose Red' prefers medium to bright indirect light but is one of the few colorful-foliage plants that surprisingly tolerate dimmer corners of the home. To maintain its chromatic intensity, however, placement near an east- or north-facing window yields optimal results. Direct sunlight - especially the midday rays of summer - should be avoided, as it can fade the pink pigments and scorch the leaf margins. Watering: This plant prefers a lightly moist substrate, never soaked. The rule is simple: water when the top 2-3 cm of soil has dried out to the touch. During warm summer periods, watering frequency may reach once a week, while in winter it drops significantly to once every 10-14 days. Use room-temperature water, ideally allowed to sit for 24 hours so the chlorine can evaporate, or filtered water. Avoid cold tap water, which shocks the roots. Humidity: Originating from the moist ecosystems of tropical jungles, Aglaonema 'Rose Red' appreciates humidity levels of at least 50-60%. In modern homes - particularly in winter when radiators dry out the air - it is recommended to mist the leaves with soft water in the morning, use a humidifier, or place the pot on a tray with moist pebbles. Brown leaf tips are the first sign of overly dry air. Temperature: Aglaonema prefers constant temperatures between 18 and 26°C. It does not tolerate cold, and exposure to temperatures below 13-15°C causes black spots on the leaves and irreversible wilting. Also avoid cold drafts, placement near open winter doors, or air conditioning units that blow cold air directly onto the plant. Substrate and pot: Use a well-draining mix, ideally composed of a universal indoor plant soil, peat, perlit, and a small dose of fine bark. Make sure the pot has drainage holes. Aglaonema prefers slightly snug pots - roots happy in a cozy space produce more new leaves. Repot every 2-3 years in spring, into a pot only 2-3 cm wider in diameter. Fertilizing: During the active growing season (spring-autumn), apply a universal liquid fertilizer for green plants, diluted to half the recommended concentration, every 3-4 weeks. In winter, fertilizing stops completely because the plant enters a state of vegetative rest. Specifications Pot diameter: 12 cm Total height (incl. pot): 40 cm Flowering stage: No flowers
