Aglaonema 'Crete'

Aglaonema 'Crete' is a red-edged Chinese evergreen with green leaf centres, pink-red margins and flushed petioles. The colour follows the edge, midrib and stem line, creating a clear red-green outline from the centre of the crown outward.

This cultivar grows as a compact upright clump from a short base. The leaves sit close together at first, then angle outward as the petioles lengthen, giving even a smaller plant a defined crown and visible colour from several sides.

Aglaonema 'Crete' red-margin traits

  • Green leaf centres framed by red to pink leaf margins
  • Flushed petioles that keep colour visible from the side
  • Compact upright crown with a self-heading growth habit
  • Glossy oval to elliptic leaves with a slightly leathery feel

Crown growth, red margins and petioles

Aglaonema 'Crete' carries red-pink colour along the margins and petioles. Young leaves open from the centre with softer colour, then flatten and firm as the blade matures. Older leaves can deepen along the edge while the green centre remains the main surface area of the blade.

The wider Aglaonema genus is associated with warm, shaded tropical habitats across Asia and New Guinea. In indoor cultivation, those forest conditions call for stable warmth, filtered light and a substrate that holds moisture while allowing oxygen around the roots. The compact crown of Aglaonema 'Crete' makes airflow around the base important, especially in cooler months.

Care points for Aglaonema 'Crete'

  • Light: Give medium to bright indirect light. A sheer curtain or position away from direct midday rays protects the glossy surface.
  • Watering: Water when the upper 40–60% of the potting mix has dried. Keep the root zone lightly moist during active growth and let it dry further in winter.
  • Substrate: Use a balanced, aerated houseplant mix with fine bark, coir or peat-free fibre, and mineral drainage.
  • Drainage: A free-draining nursery pot is important because the compact basal crown needs air around the root zone.
  • Temperature: Aim for 18–24 °C indoors. Keep away from cold glass, unheated rooms and winter draughts.
  • Humidity: Normal household humidity is usually suitable. Grouping plants or using a humidifier can reduce stuck or crisp new growth in dry rooms.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly in spring and summer. Use a diluted balanced fertiliser and flush the pot occasionally to reduce salt build-up.
  • Pot choice: Keep the pot close to root size. A compact Aglaonema in a deep oversized pot stays wet for too long at the base.
  • Repotting: Repot when roots circle the pot or the mix compacts. Keep the crown at the same depth after repotting.
  • Pruning: Remove spent lower leaves cleanly at the base. This keeps the upright crown tidy and reduces hidden damp leaf material.
  • Outdoor summer placement: Move outside only in warm, sheltered shade once nights stay above 16 °C. Bring back indoors before cool nights return.
  • Propagation: Divide only mature clumps with separate rooted shoots. Fresh divisions need warmth and even moisture while roots re-establish.

Aglaonema 'Crete' leaf and crown signals

  • Yellow base leaves: Check the bottom of the pot and the crown base. Several fading lower leaves can indicate wet mix or a cool root zone.
  • Brown patches on leaves: Check for direct sun, cold exposure or water sitting on leaves in a cool room.
  • Soft petioles: Check root firmness and reduce watering until the mix breathes again. Firm petioles hold the leaf edge clearly.
  • Dry leaf edges: Check watering gaps, fertiliser strength and warm airflow. Red margins show edge stress quickly.
  • Uneven crown: Rotate the pot every few weeks so new leaves develop evenly around the centre.

Amazing!
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
This book was phenomenal, I devoured it within a few days! For this being a debut novel, it is fantastic and I would’ve thought the author was a seasoned author. I have zero complaints about this book. Let me start by saying that the world building was phenomenal. I could picture everything in my head because of how detailed it was — that’s how good it was written. And I absolutely love the “captive/captor” trope so much, it’s become one of my favorite tropes, so I was pleasantly surprised to see that this book had that. I loved the banter between Rogue and Ara — they’re both snarky and witty, plus with the romantic tension, it made the dialogue that much better. Speaking of romantic tension, yes there is spice but not so much of it that it overrides the plot, which I loved. For me, this would probably be on the 3/5 level of spice. This book had a ton of plot twists and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

High on Tropes and Satisfaction
Format: Kindle
This is a great Romantasy book full of action, adventure, and everything you look for in this genre. I won’t lie: it does kinda feel like the author found every common trope from every successful book of this kind and threw them all into this novel. But if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Especially in romance, there’s a large audience who has specific expectations, and they want them every time. Nothing wrong with that and many times I’m one of them. I have no idea what defines a spoiler honestly, so spoiler alert!!!!!!! Tropes include: Only one bed at the inn/bar Dissatisfaction with life before hunk appears Lost royalty The chosen one Montage of dress up time followed by shocked hunk Forbidden romance between two from rival peoples Power that cannot be controlled, simply guided/asked Gathering intel at the inn/bar FMC who knows how to fight/use weapons well There’s probably more but no need to list them all. Good story and I would recommend!

OUTSTANDING
Format: Kindle
This was very, very good. The world is vast and characters are complex. There is a good plot with a whole lot going on. This is well written. Good twists and turns and some heart breaking moments. You will love these characters, they have heart and loyalty. I am hoping that there will be several more books. We've yet to see anything from the Sea Court but only a mention of them here and there. The Wood Court was given a quick couple of scenes, and only as far as some warriors, we've yet to enter their court and the Shadow Court, I'm not sure if they will be a force for good or bad, but they definitely will play a much bigger role moving forward. This is primarily the Ice and Air Courts. Told in multiple views, which I loved, it gives you a chance to see things from different eyes. There's alot of political maneuvering and deception. I loved it and will pick up the next book as it becomes available. If you like The Fae and the courts, you should love this. I think the author has mucn in store for us.

Definitely worth the read!
Format: Kindle
After taking a deep breath and taking in that wicked twist of an ending, I have finally composed myself. My first thought when I started this book was that I love Reyna's character. I was intrigued by her connection with her familiar and the Ruin that is plaguing her land. It came as no surprise that she took her sister's place in an attempt to protect her. When they reach the Air Court everything slows down. This is where it was iffy for me. First of all, I like multiple POV's in books however 7 is a bit much. It starts to interrupt the story line. I felt like I was finally making progress connecting with one character, then it was switched to another person. I felt they all had necessary or pertinent information but not necessarily were they all POV worthy. The only other thing that annoyed me was that Reyna constantly was " trapped." She would rush off without thinking, only to need rescuing. She is brilliant in a fight, but she really doesn't think through anything. Lorcan is amazing. I know he might be on the "bad" list, but his background is so interesting. Eislyn(Reyna's sister) is really so sweet, but calculating. I enjoyed her and Thane's dialogue. The author did an amazing job with the imagery in this book. Everything was so detailed it was easy to fall into the scene. I love unexpected twists and while part of the ending I expected, I wasn't expecting how it took place. All in all, I found it very entertaining and I am very invested in continuing this series. Favorite quotes: "The truth may be twisted but never false." "Who was she if she was not the enemy of the Air Court? What was her purpose of she no longer has that?" "In a war-torn land, love was always a lie."

Great Read!!! Great story!!!
Format: Kindle
The series is long, but Ms. Wolfhart does a fantastic job of weaving this tale while bringing so much to the characters. Surprises and plot twists along the way to keep you intrigued. There is some graphic sex, but is no way the focal point. Grammar was excellent (a rare find with a lot of self publishers) with only a few noted errors. I rarely give 4 stars, let alone 5.
