Aglaonema ‘Red Star’ is an eye-catching tropical houseplant that commands attention with its vivid crimson and emerald foliage. A member of the Araceae family and part of the Chinese Evergreen group, this cultivar originates from the lush rainforests of Southeast Asia, where it thrives in warm, shaded environments beneath the jungle canopy.

The broad, lance-shaped leaves of ‘Red Star’ are a stunning fusion of ruby red, deep pink, and green margins — creating a glowing, starburst effect that intensifies under the right light conditions. Each leaf has a glossy, almost lacquered finish, giving the plant a luxurious and polished appearance. Compact, elegant, and effortlessly vibrant, Aglaonema ‘Red Star’ brings warmth and sophistication to any indoor setting — a living jewel of the tropics.


Aglaonema ‘Red Star’ – Care Guide

Light

Prefers bright, indirect light to enhance its vivid red and pink hues. Too much direct sunlight can cause leaf scorch, while too little light may result in dull colouring. It will adapt to lower light conditions but grows best with filtered daylight, such as near an east-facing window.

Watering

Keep the soil evenly moist during spring and summer but allow the top 2–3 cm to dry out before watering again. Reduce watering in winter when growth slows. Avoid letting the plant sit in water, as Aglaonemas are prone to root rot. Use filtered or room-temperature water to avoid mineral build-up.

Temperature and Humidity

Temperature: Thrives between 18–28 °C. Avoid cold drafts, sudden temperature drops, or placing near air conditioning units or radiators.
Humidity: Moderate humidity (50–70%) suits it well. Mist occasionally or group with other tropical plants to maintain moisture levels. In dry environments, consider using a humidifier.

Soil and Potting

Use a loose, well-draining mix rich in organic matter — a blend of compost, perlite, and coco coir works well. Repot every 2–3 years in spring or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot with drainage holes to prevent excess moisture build-up.

Feeding

Feed every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted, balanced houseplant fertiliser. Reduce feeding in autumn and winter. Avoid over-fertilising, as this can cause salt build-up and tip burn on the delicate leaves.

Pruning and Maintenance

Trim away older or yellowing leaves to keep the plant looking fresh. Wipe leaves gently with a damp cloth to remove dust and restore their vibrant shine. Rotate occasionally for even exposure to light and symmetrical growth.

Growth and Maturity

Aglaonema ‘Red Star’ is a slow to moderate grower, typically reaching 40–60 cm in height and spread. Mature plants form a compact, bushy shape with lush, upright leaves. Occasionally, small white spathes may appear, but this plant is primarily valued for its decorative foliage rather than its blooms.

Common Issues

  • Yellow leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage.

  • Faded colour: Insufficient light.

  • Brown edges: Low humidity or hard water use.

  • Pests: May occasionally attract mealybugs or spider mites; treat promptly with neem oil or insecticidal soap.


Background and Benefits

Aglaonema ‘Red Star’ is part of a long line of ornamental Chinese Evergreen hybrids bred for their colourful foliage and easy-going nature. Revered in many Asian cultures as a symbol of prosperity and positive energy, this cultivar adds both good fortune and bold colour to the home.

Known for its ability to purify indoor air by removing toxins like formaldehyde and benzene, it’s both decorative and functional. While safe to touch, the plant contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can irritate the mouth and stomach if ingested — so it’s best kept out of reach of pets.

Styling Tip

Aglaonema ‘Red Star’ adds instant warmth and vibrancy to any space. Display it in a simple white, charcoal, or gold-toned pot to complement its jewel-like colouring. It pairs beautifully with green-leaved companions such as Philodendron ‘Imperial Green’ or Ficus elastica ‘Robusta’. Perfect for living rooms, offices, or shaded hallways, it injects colour and life into even the dullest corners — a true statement of tropical luxury.

    Good to have if you've never seen the iTEP exam, but don't rely on it to boost your scores
    Format: Paperback
    This book is good in that it comes with two practice tests: one in the beginning of the book, one in the end of the book. The grading rubric is helpful too. However, the actual guide part of the book, doesn't help too much with how to improve test scores. What I like least about this guide is that it won't tell you which questions you answered incorrectly on the practice exams. A good test prep guide will tell you what you answered incorrectly, and will tell you what logic to follow to get to the correct answer. In the reading passages, it would be nice to know where I can find evidence to justify the "correct" answer. In the grammar section, it would be nice to know which rule I'm violating. Any test guide should always come with some testing strategies. I.E. If this question is taking up too much time, skip it and go to the next one. This guide lacks simple strategies like that. Simple strategies like that could be useful when incorporated into this guide because there are certain sections on the exam that you can go back to previous questions, but some sections where the "back" button is disabled. Overall, if you've never seen an iTEP exam before, this book is certainly helpful in that it will give you an idea of what you will be testing for. However, this book alone won't help you achieve a score of 6. The table of contents itself will tell you there are only 86 pages of actual content covering test material. That's not enough to cover how to excel in the exam.

    Don't buy it
    Format: Paperback
    It does not prepare for the real test. Using it is absolutely not enough to be approved with good grades. Too expensive for what it offers.
