Aglaonema China Red prefers bright, indirect light, but can tolerate low light conditions. Avoid direct morning sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
Water
Water the plant when the top inch or 50% of the soil is dry. Water more frequently in brighter light and less frequently in lower light. Overwatering can cause root rot, so make sure the pot has proper drainage and check the soil's moisture before watering. You can use a moisture meter to help determine when to water.
Temperature
Aglaonema China Red prefers moderate temperatures between 65–75°F. Keep it away from air conditioners, which can harm the plant with gusts of hot or cold air.
Humidity
Aglaonema China Red enjoys extra humidity. You can mist the plant regularly, especially in the winter when the humidity is low. You can also use a pebble tray, place a humidifier nearby, or group plants together to create a humid microclimate.
Soil
Plant Aglaonema China Red in well-draining potting soil. You can repot larger floor plants every 18–24 months, choosing a pot that's 2–4 inches larger in diameter than the previous one. If you want to keep the plant the same size, you can repot it into the same pot with new soil and trim away some roots and foliage. Spring or summer is the best time to repot because the plants are strongest during the growing season.
Fertilizer
Fertilize the plant with an all-purpose liquid fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer).
Maintenance
Gently wipe the leaves with a moist cloth to keep the plant looking fresh, and remove any dead or yellowing leaves
