Scientific name

Aglaonema rotundum x pictum tricolor

General description

Aglaonema 'Red Army' is a houseplant with slender leaves in a camouflage pattern of varied greens, highlighted by pinkish-red veins. It is an ornamental cultivar offering a touch of color and elegance, particularly appreciated for its combination of dark foliage and bright red accents.

Origin

Horticultural hybrid in the large Aglaonema family, tropical species native to Southeast Asia and hot, humid regions.

Care

• Light : Bright indirect light to preserve reddish colors; tolerates medium light but growth will be slower.
• Watering : Keep the substrate slightly moist, wait until the top few centimeters of soil are dry before watering again.
• Humidity : Prefers moderate to high humidity; dry air can fatigue foliage.
• Temperature : between approximately 18 and 27°C; avoid low temperatures or sudden changes.
• Substrate : Well-draining, fertile, light mix; include aerated elements to improve root oxygenation.

Special advice

• Clean the leaves from time to time to remove dust to highlight the red veins.
• Fertilize lightly during the growing season (spring-summer) with diluted balanced fertilizer.
• Repot every 1-2 years or when the pot becomes too small, use a pot with good drainage.
• Toxic if swallowed to pets and humans.
