A striking Chinese Evergreen with deep green leaves and vivid red veins. This easy-care houseplant brings bold color and tropical elegance to any indoor space.

Plant Details

• Common Name: Red Vein Chinese Evergreen

• Botanical Name: Aglaonema commutatum ‘Red Vein’ (or similar cultivar)

• Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light. Tolerates lower light but coloration may fade. Avoid direct sun which can scorch leaves. 

• Watering: Allow the top 1-2 inches of soil to dry between waterings. Overwatering can lead to yellowing leaves or root rot. Underwatering may cause leaf drop or crispy edges. 

• Humidity & Temperature: Thrives in warm indoor temps (around 65-80°F / ~18-27°C). Moderate humidity is sufficient; higher humidity helps with crisp edges and more vibrant foliage. Protect from cold drafts. 

• Soil: Use a well-draining mix with good organic matter, amended with components for airflow and drainage (e.g. perlite, coarse bark, etc.).

• Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced houseplant fertilizer during the growing season (spring & summer). Reduce feeding during fall/winter.

• Toxicity: Not safe for pets or children if ingested. Keep out of reach.

Quick Care Tips

• Place near a north or east-facing window, or filter brighter light through curtains.

• Water when the soil’s top inch or two is dry (don’t let it stay soggy).

• Maintain warmth and avoid temps under ~60°F (15-16°C).

• Wipe leaves occasionally to keep them clean and allow efficient light absorption.

• If leaves become leggy, prune to encourage bushier growth.

Why Choose Aglaonema ‘Red Vein’

• Bold foliage with red veins adds vibrant contrast to interiors.

• Compact enough for small spaces like shelves or desks, yet sufficiently striking to serve as a centerpiece.

• Low-maintenance: suitable for those new to houseplants or those who prefer easy-care greenery.

• Versatile: fares well in medium indoor lighting but rewards brighter indirect light with more intense coloration.
