About This Botanical

Chinese Evergreen 'Ruby' (Aglaonema 'Ruby Garuda') has pointed leaves washed in vivid pink and red. Chinese evergreens are known for tolerating ordinary indoor light and irregular watering, so this one adds strong color without being fussy.

Colorful aglaonemas keep their best color in medium to bright indirect light, but they will cope with lower light. Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry and keep it away from cold drafts (below 60°F). ASPCA lists Chinese evergreen (Aglaonema) as toxic to cats and dogs (insoluble calcium oxalates). Keep it out of reach of pets and children.

Common Question Care Clarification

“Why is my Aglaonema losing its pink color?”

Too little light. Colorful Chinese evergreens fade toward green in dim spots, so move it closer to a bright window (out of direct sun).
