Arrived overnight, looking exactly like the photos
Ordered Tuesday at 8 PM, delivered Wednesday by 9:30 AM. Plant was healthy, tall (about 16 inches), came in the charcoal pot exactly as shown. The packaging was thoughtful — wood shavings, tied stems, no soil spill. Two weeks in and it's already pushed out a new leaf.

Survived me. That's a big deal.
I have killed every plant I have ever owned. Got this for the bedroom. Watered it once in 6 weeks. Still alive, still growing. The team also responded on WhatsApp within an hour when I asked if it was getting too much sun. Not paid to say this.

Beautiful plant, slightly smaller than expected
Plant itself is gorgeous and very healthy. Only minor gripe — I expected the medium size to be taller, but it's closer to 14 inches than 18. Still very happy with it. The Khurja ceramic pot is honestly the best part.

About the Aglaonema Red
The Aglaonema Red is a tropical evergreen perennial native to the warm, humid regions of Asia and New Guinea. Belonging to the Araceae family, this plant is characterized by its stunning red and green variegated foliage that creates a dramatic visual impact. In India, it's highly valued for its air-purifying properties, effectively removing common indoor pollutants like formaldehyde, benzene, and xylene. The plant's adaptability to various indoor conditions makes it a popular choice for homes and offices across the country. At gardengro, we source healthy specimens that are ready to thrive in your indoor environment, ensuring you receive a plant that will bring beauty and cleaner air to your space.
Light & Placement
Aglaonema Red plants thrive in indirect bright light to low-light conditions, making them perfect for rooms with limited natural light. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight as it can scorch their beautiful leaves. In Indian homes, east or north-facing windows are ideal as they provide gentle morning light without the harsh afternoon sun. This plant is versatile and can adapt to various indoor settings, from living rooms to bedrooms and offices. Its ability to tolerate lower light conditions makes it an excellent choice for apartments and spaces where natural light is limited. When you buy from gardengro, our plants are acclimatized to indoor conditions, ensuring they settle well into their new home.
Watering & Humidity
Watering your Aglaonema Red is simple - wait until the soil is completely dry before watering thoroughly. Since it's primarily an indoor plant, the soil may take a few days to dry out completely, so adjust your watering schedule accordingly. It's best to water during early morning or late evening hours. This plant appreciates moderate humidity but can adapt to average indoor humidity levels. In India's varying climate, you might need to adjust watering frequency during different seasons - less in winter and more during the humid monsoon months. Overwatering is the most common mistake, so always ensure the pot has proper drainage to prevent root rot.
Pet Safety & Toxicity
One of the standout features of the Aglaonema Red is that it's pet-friendly, making it a safe choice for homes with cats and dogs. Unlike many other decorative plants, Aglaonema varieties are non-toxic to pets, so you don't have to worry if your curious furry friend nibbles on a leaf. This safety aspect makes it particularly popular among Indian pet owners who want to enjoy indoor plants without compromising their pets' well-being. The plant's glossy, waxy leaves also help deter common pests like spider mites and mealy bugs, reducing the need for chemical treatments that could be harmful to pets.

Care steps
Place in indirect light. Position your Aglaonema Red where it receives bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn.
Water when soil is dry. Check the soil moisture and water thoroughly only when the top layer is completely dry. Reduce watering in winter.
Maintain moderate humidity. This plant appreciates average indoor humidity. In very dry conditions, mist occasionally or use a pebble tray.
Fertilize occasionally. Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2 months during the growing season. Avoid over-fertilizing.
Wipe leaves gently. Clean the glossy leaves occasionally with a damp cloth to remove dust and help with photosynthesis.
Repot when needed. Repot every 2-3 years or when roots appear through drainage holes. Use well-draining soil rich in organic matter.
