Aglaonema 'Lucky Red — also known as Chinese Evergreen — is an attractive, compact houseplant prized for its bold, contrasting variegation. Its glossy leaves display striking marbling and speckling that brighten interiors, making it an excellent decorative choice for offices or living rooms. Easy to care for and tolerant of lower light, 'Lucky Red' combines strong visual impact with a neat, space-friendly growth habit.

Light

Aglaonema Lucky Red prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. For optimal growth, place it near a window with filtered light or in a well-lit room.

Watering

Allow the top inch of the soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it’s essential to ensure the pot has good drainage. During the growing season (spring and summer), water more frequently, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. In winter, reduce watering frequency.

Humidity

This plant enjoys higher humidity levels but can adapt to average household humidity. To increase humidity, you can mist the leaves, place a humidity tray underneath the pot, or use a room humidifier.

Temperature

Aglaonema thrives in temperatures between 15°C and 30°C. It’s important to keep it away from drafts, heating vents, or cold windows, as sudden temperature fluctuations can cause stress.

Soil

Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally one designed for houseplants. A blend of potting soil, perlite, and peat moss works well to provide adequate aeration and moisture retention.

Fertilisation

Feed Aglaonema Lucky Red with a balanced liquid fertiliser every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Avoid fertilising in the winter months when the plant's growth slows down.
