Aglaonema 'Red Fire'
This easy going plant brings loads of colour for November
Aglaonemas grow in a rosette formation, meaning they grow up and out from a central stem. They are not climbers or trailers, meaning they're more suited for a tabletop or windowsill. Some Aglaonemas will grow large and very bushy, the 'Red Fire' is a slightly smaller variety, still becoming bushier (and even producing baby plants in the soil), but not getting much taller than 30-40cm.
The life cycle of the plant is a lot longer than the leaves, so expect some of the lower leaves to drop off as the plant matures.
The 'Red Fire' is a tropical plant, but it's not fussy. For it to thrive, give this plant bright, indirect light, and only water when most of the soil feels dry.
You don't need to watch over this one, it is a plant which thrives on neglect and is fine with a slightly shadier and draughty spot than some of your other tropical plants. Humidity is appreciated but they can withstand average household humidity, just keep it away from radiators so the leaves don't crisp up.
We find this genus to be super chill, but they are sensitive to overwatering, due to their thick roots and fleshy stems, so be gentle with your watering schedule. Because of these thick roots, we recommend repotting every 1-2 years in an airy and chunky soil.
