Aglaonema 'Spring Red'

Aglaonema 'Spring Red' is a compact Chinese evergreen grown for warm red-pink colour across a dense, upright clump. New leaves rise from short stems and build a rounded crown with visible colour across the upper leaves.

The leaves are smooth, oval to lance-shaped and slightly glossy, with red to salmon-pink colouring near the midrib and green tissue around the blade edge. As new growth expands, the colour sits close to the centre of the leaf, giving the crown a warm core with a cooler green outline.

Aglaonema 'Spring Red' colour profile

• Compact, clumping Chinese evergreen with short upright stems
• Red-pink central colour with green margins and soft irregular markings
• Smooth, broad leaves held in a dense rounded crown
• Slow to moderate indoor growth with new leaves forming from the centre
• Keep warm, evenly moist and away from direct midday sun

Aglaonema 'Spring Red' crown development

Aglaonema 'Spring Red' is a cultivated Aglaonema selection grown for patterned foliage, compact crown growth and warm red-pink colour. It carries the familiar Chinese evergreen habit, with short stems, broad leaves and steady clumping growth in a pot.

In a container, the plant gradually forms a short-stemmed clump. Older leaves sit lower around the base while new leaves emerge from the crown, creating a layered look as it matures.

Aglaonema 'Spring Red' care essentials

• Light: Place in bright filtered light or gentle morning sun. Direct midday sun can mark the coloured leaf tissue.
• Watering: Water when the top 3–5 cm of substrate feels dry. The pot needs to feel lighter before watering again.
• Substrate: Use a loose mix with coco coir, fine bark, perlite or pumice so the roots stay lightly moist with air around them.
• Drainage: Keep the plant in a pot with drainage holes and empty any standing water after watering.
• Temperature: Keep at 18–27 °C. Cold windowsills and draughts can cause dull, water-soaked patches on the leaves.
• Humidity: Normal indoor humidity is usually suitable. In very dry heated rooms, grouping plants or using a humidifier reduces crisping on new leaves.
• Feeding: Feed lightly every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with diluted foliage-plant fertiliser.
• Repotting: Repot when roots fill the pot or the substrate breaks down, usually every 1–2 years.
• Grooming: Remove fully yellow lower leaves at the base so the crown stays open and dry.
• Propagation: Divide rooted basal shoots or root stem sections with at least one node in warm conditions.

Aglaonema 'Spring Red' leaf responses

• Soft yellow lower leaves: Check for a wet lower root ball, blocked drainage or a cover pot holding water.
• Brown dry tips: Check watering gaps, dry heated air and mineral build-up from strong fertiliser or hard water.
• Pale scorched patches: Move the plant away from direct sun through glass and leave damaged leaves until replacements grow.
• Drooping with damp substrate: Inspect the roots and allow the mix to dry further before the next watering.

Aglaonema 'Spring Red' safety

Aglaonema 'Spring Red' contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals. The plant can irritate the mouth, throat and digestive tract if eaten, so keep it away from pets and small children. Wash hands after pruning if sap touches the skin.
