This plant has quite a few common names. Here are the ones I’ve seen it called: Red Chinese Evergreen, Siam Aglaonema, Siam Aurora, Aglaonema Firecracker, Siam Aurora Red Aglaonema, and Siam.

You may have to move yours to a brighter spot in the winter months so it gets the light it needs.. It can tolerate high light but keep them away from windows with the strong sun coming in or they’ll burn in no time flat. The Red Agalonema and others that have more color in their foliage need medium-light to do their best. Conversely, it’ll tolerate lower light but will lose some coloration and will grow slower.

You want to use a potting soil that is peat-based and formulated for indoor plants. I alternate between Happy Frog and Ocean Forest. They have lots of good stuff in them.

You can up the ante on the aeration and drainage factors by adding pumice or perlite. 3 parts potting soil to 1 part pumice or perlite should be fine. Add a bit more to the mix if it still needs lightening up.

The main reasons to prune this plant are to take off the occasional yellow leaf or spent flower. If the plant is getting too leggy or you want it to grow denser, then tip prune off the new growth.
