About This Botanical
Chinese Evergreen 'Red Siam'
A colorful Aglaonema with red-tinged leaves. It is one of the easiest indoor plants and tolerates a range of light.
How to care for Chinese Evergreen Red Siam
- Light: medium indoor light. Too much direct sun bleaches the leaves. Move it gradually when changing light levels.
- Water: water when the soil dries, and do not let the pot sit in water. Overwatering is the top cause of houseplant decline.
- Temperature: keep it above 50°F. Cold damage shows as yellowing lower leaves.
- Care: feed during active growth only, and cut back tall, leggy stems to keep it compact.
