Aglaonema 'Red Joy'
Aglaonema ‘Red Joy’ is a modern and spectacular variety of Aglaonema (also known as “Chinese Evergreen”), appreciated for its intensely colored leaves in shades of red, pink, and green, with a lush and tropical appearance. It is an easy-to-care-for indoor decorative plant, suitable even for beginners.
🔹 Botanical characteristics:
• Habit: A perennial plant with compact and vertical growth, generally reaching 30–50 cm in height, ideal for pots, offices, or bright corners.
• Leaves: Large, oval-elongated, with a glossy texture. The coloration is spectacular: intense red or coral pink on most of the leaf, with green edges and veins, creating a strong decorative contrast. The leaf shape is symmetrical and elegant.
• Stems: Short, thick, usually reddish shades, supporting the leaves vertically or slightly curved.
🔹 Recommended growing conditions:
• Light: Prefers strong indirect light to maintain leaf color intensity. It also adapts to shadier areas, but coloration may become duller.
• Watering: Moderate. Water when the top layer of the substrate is dry. Does not tolerate excess water – requires good drainage.
• Soil: Aerated and well-drained, ideally peat-based with perlite or a mix for tropical green plants.
• Temperature: Thrives in warm, stable environments. Does not tolerate cold and should be protected from temperatures below 15°C.
• Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity. Can benefit from occasional misting or a humidifier.
• Fertilization: During the growing season (spring–summer), can be fertilized once a month with fertilizer for decorative foliage plants.
• Propagation: By dividing the clump or stem cuttings.
• Maintenance: Low to medium – requires only proper watering and suitable light to keep its leaves healthy and brightly colored.
