    Aglaonema ‘Siam Aurora’

    A striking red-margined Chinese evergreen prized for its bold foliage and forgiving nature.

    Bright–Medium Indirect Light Pet Toxicity Warning Excellent Indoor Plant Low Maintenance

    Description

    Aglaonema ‘Siam Aurora’—often called the Red Aglaonema—delivers vibrant color with minimal effort. Broad, glossy leaves splashed in emerald and olive are edged and veined in brilliant pink to crimson, creating a warm, contemporary look that brightens low to medium-light spaces.

    Adaptable and slow to complain, this cultivar tolerates typical indoor conditions, resists occasional missed waterings, and stays compact, making it ideal for desks, shelves, and living rooms. In tropical climates it can be grown outdoors in shade; indoors, it is grown primarily for its foliage, with occasional, inconspicuous aroid blooms.

    Colorful foliage Great for beginners Works in low light Air-purifying foliage

    Suggested Uses

    Statement houseplant for living rooms, bedrooms, and offices with bright to medium indirect light.
    Color accent on shelves, credenzas, and entryways; pairs beautifully with neutral décor.
    Container plant for shaded patios, lanais, and covered porches in frost-free regions.
    Mass planting or underplanting in deeply shaded tropical gardens (Zones 10–12).
    Great companion with darker green foliage plants to add contrast and warmth.

    Care Tips

    • Planting Instructions iconPlanting InstructionsUse a pot with drainage. Set the crown at the soil surface and backfill with a light, airy mix. Firm gently; water to settle. Avoid burying stems.
    • Soil Moisture iconSoil MoistureKeep evenly moist but not soggy. Water when the top 1–2 inches of mix feel dry; reduce slightly in winter. Never let sit in standing water.
    • Soil Type iconSoil TypeWell-drained, chunky aroid mix: high-quality potting soil blended with perlite/pumice and fine bark or coconut husk; pH 6.0–6.5.
    • Humidity iconHumidityPrefers 50–60%+. Tolerates average home humidity; boost with a pebble tray or humidifier during dry seasons for best leaf edges.
    • Pruning Instructions iconPruning InstructionsRemove yellow or damaged leaves at the base with clean shears. Pinch soft tips to encourage bushiness. Clip off flower spikes to keep vigor in foliage.
    • Winter Care iconWinter CareKeep above 60°F (16°C); ideal 65–80°F. Protect from drafts and cold windows. Reduce watering and hold fertilizer until spring.
    • Planting Depth iconPlanting DepthPlant at the same depth as in the nursery pot; crown level with the mix. Do not mound soil up the stems.
    • Fertilization iconFertilizationFeed every 4–6 weeks in spring–summer with a balanced liquid at 1/4–1/2 strength. Flush salts quarterly. Little to no feed in fall–winter.
    • Special Care iconSpecial CareRotate monthly for even color; wipe leaves to remove dust. Watch for mealybugs, scale, and spider mites. Repot every 1–2 years; divide clumps to propagate. Sap may irritate skin—wear gloves.

    Tip: For the richest red margins, provide bright, filtered light (sheer-curtain east window or a few feet back from a bright south or west exposure).
