Aglaonema 'Crete'

Red-pink margins, green leaf centres and flushed petioles give Aglaonema 'Crete' a sharper outline than many pale Chinese evergreens. The colour follows the edge, midrib and stem line, so the plant shows red detail from the top and from the side.

This cultivar grows as a compact upright clump from a short base. The leaves sit close together when young, then angle outward as the petioles lengthen, giving even smaller plants a defined crown.

Crete red-margin traits

  • Green leaf centres framed by red to pink margins
  • Flushed petioles with colour visible below the leaf blades
  • Glossy oval to elliptic leaves with a slightly leathery feel
  • Self-heading growth from a compact basal crown
  • Warm, filtered-light position for firm petioles and fewer scorch marks on the red leaf edges

Red margins, petioles and genus background

Aglaonema 'Crete' carries its strongest colour along the leaf margins and petioles. Young leaves open from the centre with softer colour, then flatten and deepen as the blade matures.

The genus Aglaonema is associated with warm, shaded tropical habitats across Asia and New Guinea. 'Crete' is the cultivar name used for this red-edged Aglaonema selection.

Stable warmth keeps petioles firm, filtered light reduces scorch, and an aerated substrate keeps the crown base from softening.

Growing Aglaonema 'Crete' indoors

  • Light: Give medium to bright indirect light. Direct midday sun near hot glass can scorch the red leaf edges, while very low light can stretch the petioles.
  • Watering: Water when the upper 40–60% of the potting mix has dried. Keep the root zone lightly moist during active growth and drier when conditions are cool or dark.
  • Substrate: Use a loose, aerated houseplant mix with fine bark, coir or peat-free fibre, plus mineral drainage, so the crown base does not sit in stale wet substrate.
  • Drainage: A free-draining nursery pot keeps air moving around the compact basal crown.
  • Temperature: Aim for 18–24 °C indoors. Keep the plant away from cold glass, unheated rooms and cold draughts.
  • Humidity: At normal household humidity, most new leaves unfold without sticking. In very dry rooms, nearby plants or a humidifier can reduce crinkled new growth.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly while the plant is actively producing new leaves, using a diluted balanced fertiliser. Flush the pot occasionally to reduce salt build-up.
  • Pot choice: Keep the pot close to root size. A young 'Crete' in a deep oversized pot can stay wet at the base for too long.
  • Repotting: Repot when roots circle the pot or the mix compacts. Keep the crown at the same depth after repotting, as a buried crown base can stay wet and soften.
  • Pruning: Remove spent lower leaves cleanly at the base so damp leaf material stays clear of the crown.
  • Temporary outdoor placement: In warm, sheltered shade with nights above 16 °C, this plant can spend time outside. Bring it indoors again before cool nights return.
  • Propagation: Divide mature clumps with separate rooted shoots. Fresh divisions need warmth and light, even moisture while cut roots produce new tips.

Crete leaf and crown signals

  • Yellow base leaves: Check the bottom of the pot and the crown base. Several fading lower leaves can indicate wet mix or a cool root zone.
  • Brown patches on leaves: Review direct sun, cold exposure and water sitting on leaves in a cool room.
  • Soft petioles: Check root firmness and let the mix breathe again before watering. Firm petioles hold the red-edged leaves upright.
  • Dry leaf edges: Check watering gaps, fertiliser strength and warm airflow. Red margins show edge stress quickly.
  • Uneven crown: Rotate the pot regularly so new petioles do not all lean toward the same side.

Crete safety and removed foliage

Leaves, stems and sap of Aglaonema 'Crete' contain insoluble calcium oxalate crystals. If plant tissue is eaten, it can irritate the mouth, tongue and throat and may cause drooling or vomiting in pets. Keep removed leaves out of reach as well, and wash your hands after pruning.

Toss this printer away
Style: WF-3823
Less than a year old and it will not accept Espon print cartridges. I have googled and done everything possible to reboot the printer, but nothing is working

Huge Step Backwards
Style: WF-3823
Purchased this after my WF-3540 finally died. This is a disappointing step backwards in capability for the price. Printing is at best "fine". Getting good color matching / saturation has been a challenge but otherwise acceptable for general things like labels. Despite the confusing documentation (at the time of purchase), this does not do double-sided scanning. This makes using the ADF for multi-sided documents basically pointless. This will be my last Epson. UPDATE - Months have passed and I'm moving it from 2 to 1 star. The ink cartridges run out quickly and are expensive to replace. The ADF jams constantly on scan jobs. The paper pull from the main cassette pulls multiple pages at a time. On top of all that, when using this with a WiFi connection to your network only, the amount of times that it losses connectivity but thinks it is still connected is constant, and/or assigns itself a local IP address instead of getting one from DHCP results in having to cycle power to get it back working. Trash printer.

Happy with my printer!
Style: WF-3823
great buy im super happy with it, i had a HP business printer for about 5 years and I was unhappy with the cost of my $500 ink. So i decided to just buy another printer with a lower cost of ink. I have the same outcome in the printing, great quality, accurate and bright colors. I was able to print business cards and Sticker labels but you can only add 1 sheet to the printer while printing cardstock or labels or it'll jam. But honestly it doesnt matter to me im just happy i dont have to pay so much for ink now. The sheets take a few seconds to print but this is fine for anyone who doesnt need to rush multiple copies. the sheets do shoot out with force when done printing so the sheets do often fall on the floor but if your sitting near you can prevent it. I am able to print wirelessly from both my laptop and iphone!

Easy Peasy to Set Up
Style: WF-3823
This is probably the sixth printer I've purchased, of which this is the second Epson. My first Epson, which is an earlier WF version, is probably at least ten years old and still operates the same as it did when I first purchased it at least ten years ago. The other three printers were a very well known brand, which I won't mention here, and none survived more than a couple of years each. This brand new Epson WF 3823 took about two weeks to arrive, but it was well worth the wait. It was very easy to set up as it took me all of four minutes to connect to my network and print out my first page. And for $80, I feel like they gave it away.
