    How to take care of The Aglaonema Red Siam

    Sun: Indirect

    The Chinese Evergreen Red Siam flourishes in medium to bright light, yet it is also adaptable to low light conditions. An ideal location with medium-light in your home would be at the center of a room with a standard-sized window. While they are versatile and can be positioned throughout the room, it's essential to keep in mind that the growth of these plants is influenced by the amount of light they receive.

    Light: Medium - Low

    Chinese Evergreen Red Siam thrives in environments where direct sunlight is avoided. While it tolerates early morning or late evening sun, the optimal condition is filtered sunlight through a sheer curtain. Given that most homes predominantly offer indirect sunlight, it is recommended to place the plant in a spot where it remains shielded from direct sunlight for the majority of the day but still receives bright, indirect light.

    Water: When half dry

    Chinese Evergreen Red Siam needs to be watered when the top half of the soil is dry to the touch. That usually takes about 1 week in an average home environment. It will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions, but it's always safer to underwater or give the soil a check before you water again.

    Humidity: Any

    Chinese Evergreen Red Siam thrives in a wide range of home humidity conditions and is known for its robust nature.

    Pet Friendly: Caution

    Chinese Evergreen Red Siam possesses moderate toxicity and may induce adverse reactions if ingested. As a general precaution, we recommend preventing your pets from consuming it. The extent of the reaction correlates with the quantity of the plant ingested. However, if you're confident that your pet doesn't usually consume plants, this particular one can still be a suitable addition to your home.

    Pro Tip

    Provide the Chinese Evergreen Red Siam with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every few months, particularly throughout its growing season. Ensure to wipe the leaves periodically to eliminate dust and uphold their vivid color. Known for its low-maintenance nature, this plant is perfect for individuals with limited time for plant care.

    Your Complete Guide to Pot Sizes: What Size Should You Choose?

    When selecting a pot for your plant, it's important to find the right size. But with all the different options out there, how do you know which one is best? We're here to help!

    MyGreenscape's pot sizes chart is a great resource for finding your perfect fit. Our easy-to-read chart takes out all the guesswork and helps you quickly choose the right size for your plant.

    Smaller pots are best for seedlings or small plants just starting out. These tend to be shallow but wide, allowing enough room for the roots of the young plant but not too much where they get overcrowded. Medium-sized pots are ideal when your plant has grown from its infancy and is ready for more space. These are deeper and wider than small pots, so that it can accommodate larger root systems - making sure your plant gets enough nourishment while still giving it breathing room. Large pots are top choice if you have an established plant in need of lots of space - think trees and large shrubs! The spacious depth and width allow plenty of room for deep root systems without struggling for air or light.

    No matter what size you choose, MyGreenscape has got you covered, with our pot sizes chart guaranteeing you find the perfect fit every time!
