Aglaonema 'Crete'

Red-pink margins, green leaf centres and flushed petioles give Aglaonema 'Crete' a sharper outline than many pale Chinese evergreens. The colour follows the edge, midrib and stem line, so the plant shows red detail from the top and from the side.

This cultivar grows as a compact upright clump from a short base. The leaves sit close together when young, then angle outward as the petioles lengthen, giving even smaller plants a defined crown.

Crete red-margin traits

  • Green leaf centres framed by red to pink margins
  • Flushed petioles with colour visible below the leaf blades
  • Glossy oval to elliptic leaves with a slightly leathery feel
  • Self-heading growth from a compact basal crown
  • Warm, filtered-light position for firm petioles and fewer scorch marks on the red leaf edges

Red margins, petioles and genus background

Aglaonema 'Crete' carries its strongest colour along the leaf margins and petioles. Young leaves open from the centre with softer colour, then flatten and deepen as the blade matures.

The genus Aglaonema is associated with warm, shaded tropical habitats across Asia and New Guinea. 'Crete' is the cultivar name used for this red-edged Aglaonema selection.

Stable warmth keeps petioles firm, filtered light reduces scorch, and an aerated substrate keeps the crown base from softening.

Growing Aglaonema 'Crete' indoors

  • Light: Give medium to bright indirect light. Direct midday sun near hot glass can scorch the red leaf edges, while very low light can stretch the petioles.
  • Watering: Water when the upper 40–60% of the potting mix has dried. Keep the root zone lightly moist during active growth and drier when conditions are cool or dark.
  • Substrate: Use a loose, aerated houseplant mix with fine bark, coir or peat-free fibre, plus mineral drainage, so the crown base does not sit in stale wet substrate.
  • Drainage: A free-draining nursery pot keeps air moving around the compact basal crown.
  • Temperature: Aim for 18–24 °C indoors. Keep the plant away from cold glass, unheated rooms and cold draughts.
  • Humidity: At normal household humidity, most new leaves unfold without sticking. In very dry rooms, nearby plants or a humidifier can reduce crinkled new growth.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly while the plant is actively producing new leaves, using a diluted balanced fertiliser. Flush the pot occasionally to reduce salt build-up.
  • Pot choice: Keep the pot close to root size. A young 'Crete' in a deep oversized pot can stay wet at the base for too long.
  • Repotting: Repot when roots circle the pot or the mix compacts. Keep the crown at the same depth after repotting, as a buried crown base can stay wet and soften.
  • Pruning: Remove spent lower leaves cleanly at the base so damp leaf material stays clear of the crown.
  • Temporary outdoor placement: In warm, sheltered shade with nights above 16 °C, this plant can spend time outside. Bring it indoors again before cool nights return.
  • Propagation: Divide mature clumps with separate rooted shoots. Fresh divisions need warmth and light, even moisture while cut roots produce new tips.

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: Review direct sun, cold exposure and water sitting on leaves in a cool room.
  • Soft petioles: Check root firmness and let the mix breathe again before watering. Firm petioles hold the red-edged leaves upright.
  • Dry leaf edges: Check watering gaps, fertiliser strength and warm airflow. Red margins show edge stress quickly.
  • Uneven crown: Rotate the pot regularly so new petioles do not all lean toward the same side.

Crete safety and removed foliage

Leaves, stems and sap of Aglaonema 'Crete' contain insoluble calcium oxalate crystals. If plant tissue is eaten, it can irritate the mouth, tongue and throat and may cause drooling or vomiting in pets. Keep removed leaves out of reach as well, and wash your hands after pruning.

Best Air Filter EVER
I have used these in my cars for years. They improve turbo lag significantly, increase air flow, and just work. What I like best about these, beside the protection they offer the air intake system, is that they truly are a life long product. My last car had one in it for 13 years. With a cleaning every 25K miles as outlines by KN the air filter just continued to work and work. I recently purchased one for my new Honda CR-V and had it installed at the dealership at 500 miles when I was getting an oil change to flush out the build lube. The mechanic who did the work left me a note that said "great filter, I love these"

Worth it! Love these filters.
I love K & N air filters and always install them in my cars. This eliminated my cars Turbo lag in my 2019 Honda Civic Ex which has a 1.5L Turbo. Acceleration has improved and makes the car louder (I also have dual exhaust) I love how you don't have to change or clean it for 50,000 miles!! I know it's expensive but will last forever! Only issue was it was very difficult to install and a pain but this is more Hondas fault as I could not fully remove the plastic case where this filter goes under the hood even with tools.

More power and better mileage
Put this in my 2017 CRV and have noticed much more pickup and better mileage overall. Usually I average 22mpg with mixed driving and this has me hovering around 25mpg and I get to have extra power on top of that. Install was straightforward and a breeze. Whole project is done in ten mins and your car is instantly more fun and getting improved MPGS
