Like other Aglaonema varieties, 'Rich Red' thrives in low to medium indirect light, making it ideal for indoor environments with limited natural light. This easy-to-care-for plant is known for its resilience, requiring minimal attention to maintain its lush appearance. Its versatility and low-maintenance nature make it a favourite among plant lovers and beginners alike, effortlessly enhancing indoor spaces with its tropical charm.
Light: Aglaonema prefers low to medium indirect light but can tolerate low-light conditions, making it ideal for dimly lit rooms or offices.
Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.
Humidity: This plant thrives in humid environments. Mist the leaves regularly or place a humidity tray nearby to boost the moisture in the air.
Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 18°C to 27°C (65°F to 80°F). Aglaonema is sensitive to cold drafts and temperatures below 15°C (59°F).
Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix with added perlite or orchid bark to promote airflow around the roots.
Fertiliser: Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser once a month during the growing season (spring and summer).
After receiving your Aglaonema in its tissue culture cup, it will require careful transitioning to its new environment:
Remove the Plant from the Cup: Gently remove the plant from the tissue culture medium. Rinse the roots thoroughly with lukewarm water to remove any remaining gel.
Acclimate to Open Air: Place the plant in a high-humidity environment such as a humidity dome or a sealed plastic bag. Gradually open the dome or bag over the course of 7 to 10 days to reduce humidity levels and allow the plant to adjust to normal room conditions.
Transplant: Once hardened, transplant the Aglaonema into a well-draining potting mix, making sure not to damage the delicate roots. Keep the plant in a warm, humid spot with indirect light as it continues to establish.
