Red Beauty

Description

🪴 Handling and Care for Aglaonema Red Beauty:

✅ Light:

• Prefers bright, indirect sunlight.

• Tolerates low-light conditions, but colors become more vivid with filtered light.

• Avoid direct harsh sunlight to prevent leaf burn.

✅ Watering:

• Water when the top inch of soil feels dry.

• Ensure the pot has good drainage to avoid root rot.

• Reduce watering in winter when growth slows down.

✅ Humidity:

• Loves moderate to high humidity.

• Occasional misting helps, especially in dry indoor environments.

• Grouping with other plants can also increase humidity.

✅ Temperature:

• Thrives in temperatures between 18-30°C (65-86°F).

• Avoid cold drafts and temperatures below 15°C (60°F).

✅ Soil:

• Use well-draining, loose potting mix.

• A mix for indoor tropical plants or a combination of peat, perlite, and sand works well.

✅ Fertilizer:

• Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during growing season (spring & summer).

• Reduce feeding in fall and winter.

✅ Pruning:

• Trim off any yellow or damaged leaves to maintain a tidy appearance.

• Pruning also encourages bushier growth.

✅ Pest Control:

• Keep an eye out for spider mites, mealybugs, and aphids.

• Wipe leaves with a damp cloth and use insecticidal soap if needed.

✅ Toxicity Warning:

• Aglaonema is toxic to pets and humans if ingested.

• Keep out of reach of cats, dogs, and small children.
