Aglaonema 'Red Valentine'

Aglaonema 'Red Valentine' is a compact Chinese evergreen cultivar with broad glossy leaves, red-pink centres, green margins and defined green veining. New leaves rise from a short central crown, giving young plants a neat layered shape, while mature plants become fuller as basal shoots develop.

The colour spreads across much of the blade, and the green edge gives each leaf a clear outline. In a pot, Aglaonema 'Red Valentine' stays relatively contained and builds density slowly, while remaining compact enough for shelves, plant tables and bright indoor positions where the leaf pattern can be seen close up.

Aglaonema 'Red Valentine' foliage highlights

• Growth habit: Compact clumping crown with short stems and a rounded indoor outline.
• Leaf shape: Broad oval to lance-shaped leaves with a smooth, glossy surface.
• Colour pattern: Red-pink centres, green margins and visible green venation.
• Pot behaviour: Slow to moderate growth with width added through basal shoots.

Aglaonema 'Red Valentine' indoor growth

Aglaonema are evergreen aroids from warm, humid forest habitats in tropical Asia and New Guinea, where many species grow below taller vegetation in filtered light. Aglaonema 'Red Valentine' grows indoors with warmth, gentle brightness and a root zone that dries slightly between waterings.

Older stems may become cane-like with age, while younger plants hold most of their foliage close to the crown. The broad blades mark less in stable conditions because sudden cold, harsh sun or dense wet substrate can mark the red-pink leaf surface quickly.

Aglaonema 'Red Valentine' care essentials

• Light: Place in bright filtered light. Morning or late-afternoon sun through a sheer curtain is usually suitable.
• Watering: Water when the upper 2–4 cm of substrate feels dry. Keep the root zone lightly moist during active growth.
• Substrate: Use an airy aroid mix with coco coir or fine bark, perlite or pumice, and a small moisture-holding organic fraction.
• Drainage: Let excess water leave the pot fully after watering, especially in decorative cachepots.
• Temperature: Keep above 18 °C. Warm, steady rooms keep the crown produce clean new leaves.
• Humidity: Moderate household humidity is usually enough. Very dry heated air may crisp the finest leaf edges.
• Feeding: Feed lightly every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a diluted complete fertiliser.
• Repotting: Move up one pot size when roots fill the container and watering becomes noticeably more frequent.
• Pruning: Remove ageing lower leaves at the base. Bare older stems can be shortened above a node.
• Propagation: Root stem sections with nodes or divide basal shoots once they have their own roots.

Reading Aglaonema 'Red Valentine' leaves and roots

• Soft yellow leaves: Check for wet substrate, cool roots and poor drainage. Allow the mix to dry slightly before watering again.
• Brown leaf patches: Move the plant out of direct sun, hot glass or cold draughts.
• Loose, stretched growth: Increase filtered light gradually and rotate the pot for even crown development.
• Crisp tips: Review watering pattern, fertiliser strength and dry indoor heat.
