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.

Durable, highly functional, and super reliable
Style: 7 in 1 【1 HDMI】
4 years since purchasing this and it's still just as useful, functionality is perfect, and compatibility is high. I use this with a Linux Pixelbook most often, but it's convenient for every device I own, including Android phones and tablets. The HDMI output works really well with devices capable of video output over USB-C, and this feature has never degraded for me. I routinely loaned it to students and professors for presentations when their own HDMI dongles or SD card adapters failed and it always immediately worked. I recently ordered an Anker 555 8-in-1 hub for the addition of ethernet, but I will continue using the 341 as well.

Great product - different than my prior ones though from same listing
Style: 7 in 1 【1 HDMI】, Style: 7 in 1 【1 HDMI】
I had this for years for my MacBook Pro because Apple thinks we don't need at least ONE usb port on the computer anymore...which is what it is. This thing works amazing, super fast, and does exactly what I need it to do. ***My hubby lost his, so I gave him mine and said I'd order another one for myself. This new version is a little smaller than my last one which I don't mind, didn't come with a little slide in protective case like the last two did which is a little sad, and there's a stupid sticker on it now when you get it that you need to be careful or it will leave the sticky crap all over it (like mine pictured 🤦🏼‍♀️) which I hate because now I have to deal with that. None of these things are deal breakers as it is a great product, I just wish it was the same as the last two I got since it was the exact same listing (clicked on it from prior purchase and says purchased two times) and didn't say it was an updated version of the product.

Quality product that serves my need!
Style: 7 in 1 【1 HDMI】, Style: 7 in 1 【1 HDMI】
I purchased this to accommodate my work from home set up and for the most part it does a good job. Whenever I turn my laptop on it gives me a message that it needs a little bit more powerful version. I am still able to use it probably would just not plug anything else into it. I work from home on average two days a week sometimes more and this comes in extremely handy to hook up my additional monitor, keyboard, mouse, and one additional item if I chose, so I like to buy anker brand as I know it’s reliable, and they stand behind their product. I have never had anything but good results with anker products. It is a great size for portability if I need to work from somewhere other than home, it’s super easy to use basically plug-in play. It does get a little warm. I’m sure the more things that are plugged into it would cause it to get warmer quicker overall I am happy with this product. It serves the purpose I bought it for.

My son was impressed
Style: 7 in 1 【1 HDMI】
Been working great. It’s fast and compatible with my Mac. Slim connection so that I can also plug in my external hard drive. Plus, my son was impressed that I got Anker. I’ll be honest, I don’t know companies, but he said I got a good one.

Great basic hub for home
Style: 7 in 1 【1 HDMI】
Makes switching between my work laptop and my personal one so much easier and has charging pass through. Great buy for the price if all you need is a simple hub.
