How to read these values
These care values are quick reference points for indoor growing. Use them as a guide, then adjust for your space, pot size, substrate, temperature and how quickly the substrate dries.
For more detail, read the full product description or visit our Plant Care Guides.
- Light: level and approximate lux at leaf level.
- Watering: “% dry” shows how far the mix should dry before watering again; a lower % means the mix stays more evenly moist.
- Potting mix: a short profile of structure, drainage, moisture retention, base material and particle size.
- Temperature: “Ideal” shows the preferred range; “Avoid below” marks where stress risk increases.
- Humidity: target bands (Normal/Moist/Humid); consistency usually matters most.
- Growth habit: growth form (rosette, trailing, climbing) for placement and support.
- Support: shows whether a stake, pole or trellis is needed, optional or unnecessary.
- Growth speed: fast/average/slow under suitable indoor conditions; this is a guide, not a promise.
- Max size indoors: realistic long-term potential; the format differs for climbers and trailers.
- Toxicity & safety: irritating or toxic compounds and physical hazards such as spines or bristles.
- Origin & habitat: native region and typical habitat.

Aglaonema 'Crimson Love'
Aglaonema 'Crimson Love' is a pink-red Chinese evergreen with glossy green leaves washed and speckled with salmon, rose and crimson tones. The colour appears in irregular patches across the blade, so the crown builds a layered mix of green depth and warm red-pink markings.
The plant grows from short basal stems and keeps a self-heading habit. Young plants stand upright and compact; mature plants broaden gradually as side shoots add more leaves around the base.
Aglaonema 'Crimson Love' colour traits
- Glossy green leaves with salmon-pink to crimson colour patches
- Oval to elliptic blades carried on upright petioles
- Self-heading growth with a fuller rounded clump over time
- Leaf pattern varies naturally from blade to blade
- Compact indoor pot size with visible salmon-pink to crimson leaf colour
Crimson foliage and clumping habit
Aglaonema 'Crimson Love' has medium-sized leaves that rise from a short crown and sit slightly above one another as the plant matures. The pink and crimson tones appear as washes, speckles and broader panels, with the green base giving each leaf its outline and contrast.
The genus Aglaonema is native across warm, shaded regions from north-east India through Southeast Asia and into New Guinea. Keep it in a warm room, filtered light and a root zone that stays lightly moist with good oxygen movement. For Aglaonema 'Crimson Love', pot size matters because a dense crown can hide slow-drying mix near the lower roots.
Care points for Aglaonema 'Crimson Love'
- Light: Place in medium to bright indirect light. A position near a filtered window keeps leaves firmer and growth more even.
- Watering: Water after the upper part of the mix has dried. Check deeper into the pot before watering, especially in cooler months.
- Substrate: Use an airy, moisture-buffering mix with organic fibre, fine bark and mineral drainage. The mix needs light moisture retention and free drainage.
- Drainage: Keep water moving through the pot and remove standing water from decorative covers after watering.
- Temperature: Keep at 18–26 °C. Warm, steady conditions keep petioles firm and reduce cold-related leaf marking.
- Humidity: Moderate indoor humidity suits this cultivar. In very dry rooms, group plants or use a humidifier to reduce sticking and crisping on new leaves.
- Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth with a diluted balanced fertiliser. Heavy feeding can leave salt residue and mark the leaf edges.
- Pot choice: Keep the root ball snug. A young 'Crimson Love' in too much substrate may stay wet at the base.
- Repotting: Repot when roots are active and the plant dries more evenly after watering. Spring and early summer give warmer recovery conditions.
- Pruning: Remove older fading leaves close to the base. Avoid tearing petioles because wounds near the crown stay damp longer.
- Outdoor summer placement: Use outdoors only in warm, shaded, sheltered conditions. Move inside again before nights drop below 14 °C.
- Propagation: Mature clumps can be divided when separate shoots have their own roots. Keep new divisions warm and evenly moist.
Leaf stress and crown checks
- Yellowing lower leaves: Check the lower mix and root zone temperature. Several fading base leaves often mean the pot is staying wet for too long.
- Brown tips or margins: Check fertiliser strength, mineral residue, uneven watering and dry airflow.
- Soft crown base: Check root firmness and reduce watering intervals until the substrate structure is stable again.
- Marked leaf surface: Check for direct sun, cold exposure or water spots. Glossy leaves show surface stress clearly.
- Pale, stretched new growth: Move to steadier indirect light and rotate the pot so the crown develops evenly.
Aglaonema 'Crimson Love' may occasionally produce a small spathe and spadix. Removing the inflorescence keeps the crown tidy.
