Aglaonema Red Baikaw

A compact, clumping, self-heading Aglaonema cultivar grown for its bold warm-toned foliage coloration. Like all Chinese Evergreens — native to the tropical and subtropical forests of Southeast Asia and New Guinea — it is one of the most genuinely low-maintenance tropical foliage plants available, tolerating a wider range of indoor conditions than most collector aroids while remaining visually striking. Brighter light conditions bring out the most intense color expression.

• Light: Bright indirect light maintains the most vivid color expression; tolerates moderate light though intensity reduces in dimmer conditions. Never direct sun.

• Soil: Well-draining potting mix with added perlite; moisture-retentive but never waterlogged. Good aeration is beneficial.

• Temperature/Humidity: Warm temperatures between 65-80°F; does not tolerate cold drafts or temperatures below 55°F. Average household humidity is sufficient; 50-60% supports the best growth.

• Watering: Allow the top 1-2" of medium to dry between waterings; reduce in winter. More forgiving of underwatering than overwatering — never allow to sit in standing water.

• Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during active growth; reduce or stop in winter. Avoid over-fertilizing which causes salt buildup and leaf tip burn.
