The Aglaonema Red Vein is a decorative tropical foliage plant admired for its deep green leaves highlighted by bold red veining. Native to the shaded understory of Southeast Asian forests, this plant is well adapted to indoor environments and is widely known under the common name Chinese Evergreen. Its strong visual contrast and forgiving care requirements make it a popular choice for both residential and professional indoor spaces.

Care Guide
Watering
Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. Avoid waterlogged soil, as excess moisture can lead to root issues. Always use pots with drainage holes.
Light & Temperature
Prefers bright to medium indirect light but tolerates low light well. Avoid direct sunlight. Ideal temperature range is 65-75°F. Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
Humidity
Prefers moderate humidity but adapts well to average indoor conditions. Occasional misting or grouping with other plants may improve appearance in dry environments.
Soil, Repotting & Fertilization
Use a well-draining indoor potting mix. Repot every 1-2 years or when root-bound. Feed monthly during spring and summer with a diluted balanced liquid fertilizer.
Propagation
Propagation is done through stem division or cuttings with a visible node. Root cuttings in water or soil before transferring to a permanent container.
Maintenance & Common Issues
Yellow leaves - Often caused by overwatering
Brown leaf tips - Usually due to underwatering or low humidity
Pests - Occasionally affected by spider mites or mealybugs; inspect regularly
Remove damaged leaves and wipe foliage gently to keep leaves clean and healthy.
