Aglaonema Red Siam Houseplants
Anglaonema Red Siam Houseplants are often vibrant and colorful, with strikingly patterned leaves. Because they’re so easy-going, Aglaonemas are perfectly suited for a modern living room or office, dim bedroom, or cozy study. Because of their tolerance for both moist and dry conditions, and the fact that they will thrive with low light, they are a perfect choice for less than ideal light conditions or forgetful plant owners.
LIGHT
Bright indirect sunlight is optimal and will help the Red Aglaonema produce the beautiful red and pink colors on its leaves. Be careful not to put your Red Aglaonema in full sun because, in many cases, the leaves will burn. Your Red Aglaonema will tolerate a low light area, but the colors may not be as deep and rich.
WATER
The Red Aglaonema prefers to be kept moist during the spring and summer, but make sure the soil isn’t soggy. Moderation is key! Do not allow the lower soil to remain wet as this may cause root rot. In the winter, water thoroughly, but allow the soil to dry out between waterings.
HUMIDITY
This plant can survive in a low humidity environment, but it will thrive with higher humidity levels. Mist the leaves regularly to raise the humidity, especially during the drier winter months.
TEMPERATURE
This plant prefers temperatures in the 60’s and 70’s. Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
FOOD
For best results, use a general houseplant fertilizer once a month during the spring and summer.
ADDITIONAL CARE
A common problem with Anglaonema Red Siam Houseplants is called ‘tipping’ when the tips of the leaves dry out and turn brown. This can be caused by a variety of issues like overwatering, too much fertilizer, etc. The most common cause, however, is tap water which contains salts, chlorine, and fluoride. If you do not have a filtration system, leaving the tap water in an open container overnight before watering can help remove some of the chlorine and fluoride from these houseplants.
