🌞 Light & Placement

Prefers bright, indirect light. Tolerates lower light conditions, though vivid leaf coloration intensifies in moderate brightness. Avoid harsh direct sun, especially through south-facing windows.

💧 Water & Humidity

Water when the top 2 cm of soil is dry. Keep consistently moist but not waterlogged. Thrives in moderate to high humidity—mist occasionally or use a pebble tray in drier indoor climates.

🪴 Soil & Potting

Use a well‑draining aroid or potting mix enriched with perlite or orchid bark. XL plants like this benefit from occasional repotting—every 2–3 years in spring—into a container ~3–5 cm larger in diameter to maintain vigor.

🐾 Toxicity & Safety

Non-toxic to cats, dogs, and humans—safe for pet households. While overall safe, discourage chewing the foliage to avoid mild oral irritation.

🌱 Growth & Propagation

Moderate but steady grower; young clumps may eventually produce sprawling stems. Propagate by division during repotting—carefully separate root clusters to start new plants for friends across the EU.

📆 Seasonal & Special Care

Active growth through spring and summer (20–25 °C); slow watering and skip fertiliser in winter. Remove faded or damaged leaves and wipe dust to maintain its striking appearance.

🐛 Common Issues

• Brown leaf edges: likely due to inconsistent watering or low humidity—adjust moisture and mist more.
• Yellow lower leaves: natural ageing or overwatering—trim off old leaves at the base.
• Leggy or sparse growth: move to brighter light and rotate occasionally for balanced shape.

🧬 Botanical Background

Aglaonema ‘Spring Red’ is a vibrant evergreen species prized for its splashy red stems and vein patterns contrasted against lush green foliage. The extra-large form (55 cm height in P19) enhances its tropical presence—perfect for dramatic impact in European interiors.
