More About Aglaonema Red Valentine

Aglaonema Red Valentine is proof that low maintenance plants don't have to be boring.

Its broad leaves are painted with shades of green, pink and deep red, giving it a much more colourful appearance than traditional Chinese Evergreens. New leaves often emerge with brighter pink tones before gradually maturing and developing more contrast.

One of the reasons this plant has become so popular is its versatility. It can tolerate lower light than many colourful houseplants while still maintaining its beautiful appearance, making it an excellent choice for homes and offices.

It's also wonderfully compact, rarely becoming unruly or taking over your space, making it ideal for shelves, side tables and workspaces.

Aglaonema Red Valentine has a compact, upright and clumping growth habit. As it matures, it gradually becomes bushier and produces multiple stems, creating a fuller and more impressive display.

Aglaonema Red Valentine Care Guide

Light
Best in bright indirect light but highly adaptable to medium light conditions. Avoid harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves and fade the beautiful colouring.
Water
Water when the top few centimetres of compost feel dry. Keep the soil lightly moist but never soggy. Chinese Evergreens dislike sitting in water and are far more forgiving of slight underwatering than overwatering.
Humidity
Prefers moderate humidity but adapts exceptionally well to average household conditions. Keep away from very dry heat sources and strong draughts.
Temperature
Thrives between 18-28°C. Avoid cold rooms and temperatures below 15°C.
Soil / Substrate
Use a well draining houseplant compost that retains some moisture without becoming heavy or compacted. Adding a little perlite can help improve airflow around the roots.
Feeding / Fertilising
Feed once a month during spring and summer using a balanced liquid houseplant fertiliser. Reduce feeding during autumn and winter.
Repotting
Repot every 1-2 years or when roots begin to outgrow the nursery pot. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one to avoid the compost staying wet for too long.
Pet / Child Safety
Not pet or child safe. Like other Chinese Evergreens, Aglaonema Red Valentine is toxic if eaten and should be kept out of reach of curious pets and little hands.
