Aglaonema ‘Lady Valentine Red’

Description:

The Aglaonema 'Lady Valentine Red' is a stunning ornamental plant with bold red and pink variegated leaves accented by green edging, guaranteed to liven up any home or office with a touch of the tropics. Not only is it a low-maintenance and aesthetically pleasing plant, but it also purifies the air by naturally removing toxins from indoor environments!  Its resilience shines through in its ability to thrive in a variety of lighting conditions, making it a perfect choice for both beginner and experienced plant enthusiasts.

Watering:

Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings, then water thoroughly, ensuring excess water drains out. Avoid letting the plant sit in water, as this can lead to root rot. During the cooler months, simply reduce watering frequency as growth naturally slows.

Fertilizer:

Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) to encourage healthy growth. In the fall and winter simply reduce feeding as the plant rests.

Lighting:

This adaptable plant prefers bright, indirect light but can also tolerate lower light conditions.  While too much direct sunlight can scorch its leaves, too little light may cause some fading of its vibrant colours. Even if kept in low light, growth may slow, but the plant will remain healthy.

Temperature:

This beauty thrives in temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Keep away from cold drafts, sudden temperature drops, and air conditioning vents to ensure the plant stays happy and healthy.

Humidity:

While moderate to high humidity is preferred, if the air is too dry, simply mist the leaves occasionally, place the plant near a humidity tray, or use a room humidifier to maintain optimal conditions.
