Dealing with Pests

Whiteflies

Small flying insects that feed on foliage, often leaving sticky residue. Inspect leaves regularly, use yellow sticky traps, and follow detailed prevention steps on our Whitefly guide.

Aphids

Often cluster on new growth and suck plant sap, which can deform leaves. Rinse with water, use insecticidal soap, and see our aphid guide for step by step control.

Fungus Gnats

Small flies breeding in damp soil, attracted by overwatering. Let the top inch of soil dry between waterings, use sticky traps, and follow our fungus gnat control guide.

Thrips

Slender pests that leave silvery streaks on leaves. Act fast with insecticidal soap or neem oil, and consult the thrips management guide for more details.

Scale

Look for brown or black bumps on stems and leaves. Remove by hand, use horticultural oil if needed, and refer to the scale removal guide for full instructions.

Spider Mites

Tiny, spider like pests that cause stippling and webbing in dry conditions. Increase humidity, wipe leaves, and follow our spider mite guide for treatments.

Mealybugs

White, cottony clusters that hide in leaf joints, treat by dabbing with alcohol and repeating until cleared, see our mealybug guide for full steps.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much light does Aglaonema Red Army need?

Bright, indirect light brings out the best color, but it tolerates lower light better than many other colorful cultivars.

How often should I water it?

Allow the top inch of soil to dry between waterings. Water thoroughly, then let excess drain away to avoid soggy roots.

Does it need high humidity?

Moderate humidity is fine, higher humidity will help new leaves look fuller and reduce pest pressure, but it will do well in most homes.

Is it safe for pets?

Aglaonema plants contain calcium oxalate crystals, so they can be toxic if eaten by pets or humans. Keep them out of reach of curious pets and children.

Light: Medium - Low

The Aglaonema Red Army 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.

Sun: Indirect

Chinese Evergreen - Aglaonema Red Army 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

Aglaonema Red Army 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 Aglaonema Red Army thrives in a wide range of home humidity conditions and is known for its robust nature.

Pet Friendly: Caution

Chinese Evergreen Aglaonema Red Army 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

Rotate your Aglaonema Red Army occasionally to ensure even growth and maintain its vibrant color.

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!
