How to Care for the Aglaonema Red Plant for Beginners:

• The secret to the red leaves lies in providing the plant with the right amount of water and light. The plant is fond of bright but indirect light. 
• Position it in front of the north or east side windows where the sun rays touch it in filtered form, and this would be ideal for maintaining the color. 
• Direct sunlight, particularly in the afternoon, is too strong because the strong rays tend to scorch the leaves and turn off its color. 
• Water when the topsoil is dry. Not wet but damp is the type of soil the plant will appreciate. 
• Water should be room temperature, not chilled, so as not to shock the roots. 
• Misting occasionally with leaves or a pebble tray of water under the pot for air-conditioned homes or dry environments keeps the humidity high, which the Aglaonema Red loves.

Tips to Keep Your Aglaonema Healthy:

• To keep the pores of leaves open for photosynthesis to occur, dust the leaves regularly. 
• Try to avoid chemical sprays on leaves; instead, wipe them using a wet cloth. 
• Remove damaged leaves from the plant to promote growth.
• Fertilize both spring and summer with a balanced, even liquid houseplant food. Avoid shocking the plant by using full strength. Reduce during winter when growth on the plant is naturally slower.
• Repotting every two years is best for older plants in a good potting mixture that includes added organic matter.
