I'll be honest.. Aglaonemas have always been one of those genera which I never paid much attention to. But something switched this growing season because now I won't shut up about them. If you are new to Aglaonemas (more commonly nicknamed 'Chinese Evergreen') then let me quickly introduce you: They can tolerate low light, they can tolerate inconsistent watering, and they can tolerate temperature fluctuations.

With this laid-back care routine, you may expect laid-back visuals, but no way honey, they've got big leaves and all the colours! Whether you like deep greens, blue-greens and silver tones, or deep reds and bright pinks, peaches and limes, the colour palette is wide with this one so you're sure to find something you like. And that's not even mentioning leaf shapes and patterns!

So, can you agree, whether you like them or not, Aglaonemas have got a lot to brag about?And that brings me onto the Aglaonema 'Red Fire', which is our November Plant of the Month pick. Hot pink stems, with red, green and yellow leaves. To us, this plant celebrates the colours of autumn. When the days are getting shorter, and the trees are shedding their colour, this Aglaonema will showcase these autumnal hues, in the dark months, as well as the light.

I'll admit, I was a little skeptical at first. As someone who's not massively into colour on their plants, this seems like a rogue choice. But Louis (who is even fussier when it comes to colour than me) really likes the 'Red Fire', saying it reminds him of thermal cameras, and Beckie was in love with the autumnal palette as soon as she saw them. From then I was convinced, lets celebrate colour as the days get a little less colourful. Oh, and it's Bonfire night soon, so the 'Red Fire' name felt very fitting!
