All the Details You Need to Know
The Story Behind This Plant
The Aglaonema, or Chinese Evergreen, has been cultivated as a bringer of luck and prosperity in Asia for centuries. The Red Valentine variety is a modern favorite, prized for its unique variegation pattern where no two leaves are exactly alike.
How to Keep It Happy
- Light: Prefers medium to bright indirect light. While it can tolerate low light, the red variegation will be most intense with plenty of filtered light.
- Water: Allow the top 50% of the soil to dry out between waterings.
- Humidity: Adapts well to average home humidity but grows faster with occasional misting.
- Soil: Use a well draining, general purpose potting mix.
What to Do About Pests
Chinese Evergreens are generally pest resistant, but keep an eye out for these common issues if the plant is stressed:
- Mealybugs: Look for white, cottony clusters in the leaf joints. Our Guide
- Spider Mites: Can appear if the air is very dry. Misting the leaves regularly is a great preventative measure. Our Guide
- Yellow Leaves: Usually a sign of overwatering. Ensure your pot has drainage and let the soil dry out further.
Popular Aglaonema Varieties
- Aglaonema Red Siam – Elegant red-edged leaves with a more upright growth habit.
- Aglaonema Silver Bay – Large, stunning silver and green leaves for the lowest light levels.
- Aglaonema Maria – A classic, deep green variety known for being indestructible.
Common Questions
Is it safe for cats?
No, like all Chinese Evergreens, the Red Valentine contains calcium oxalate crystals which are toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. It is best placed on a high shelf or in a room where pets are supervised.
Why is my Red Valentine losing its red color?
If the new leaves are coming in more green than red, the plant is likely asking for more light. Move it to a brighter spot with indirect sunlight to help it produce those beautiful pigments.
How often do I water it in winter?
During Canadian winters, indoor plants grow more slowly. Reduce watering to once every 10 to 14 days, making sure the soil is dry at least halfway down the pot before adding more water.
