Description

Aglaonema ‘Siam Aurora’ (Red Aglaonema)

Aglaonema (ah-glah-oh-NAY-mah) This tropical shrub grows to 1.5 feet, is erect and bushy, and resembles dumb cane (Dieffenbachia). The tendency to have only 5-8 main lateral veins distinguishes it from Dieffenbachia.

It has elliptic, dark-green, lance-shaped leaves that reach 4 to 8 inches long and 2 to 3 inches wide. Attractive reddish-gray slivers appear on upright stems. The plant does well in diffuse sun or good indirect light and prefers high humidity but will tolerate dryer air. Keep the potting mix moist from spring to fall.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
