Aglaonema 'Spring Red'

Warm red-pink colour across a dense upright crown makes Aglaonema 'Spring Red' noticeable even in smaller indoor spaces. New leaves rise from short stems and build a rounded clump with colour concentrated through the centre.

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 crown keeps a warm centre with a cooler green outline.

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
• New leaves form from the centre and side shoots slowly fill the pot
• Warm filtered light and lightly moist substrate keep new leaves from stalling

Crown development and background

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 side shoots that slowly fill the pot.

Aglaonema belongs to Araceae and the genus is native from north-eastern India to Papua New Guinea. The red-pink colour is strongest through the younger central growth, where it sits inside the greener leaf margins.

Care essentials for Aglaonema 'Spring Red'

• 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 during active growth with diluted foliage-plant fertiliser.
• Repotting: Repot when roots fill the pot or the substrate breaks down.
• Grooming: Remove fully yellow lower leaves at the base so the crown stays open and dry.
• Propagation: Divide rooted side shoots or root stem sections with at least one node in warm conditions.

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.

Safe placement

Aglaonema 'Spring Red' contains irritating calcium oxalate crystals. The plant can irritate the mouth, throat and digestive tract if eaten. Place it out of reach of pets and small children, and wash hands after pruning if sap touches the skin.

Aglaonema 'Spring Red' suits a warm filtered-light position where its red-pink centre can stay visible without exposing the leaves to harsh sun.
