Red Aglaonema: New Twist On An Old Favorite

Trek deep in the tropical jungles of Asia (especially Southeast Asia) and you’ll find a delightful plant called Chinese evergreen (Aglaonema). You probably wouldn’t think these rainforest inhabitants would be some of the toughest, most reliable houseplants around, but they really are. Chinese evergreens have been a staple houseplant since the 1960s because of their good looks and no-fuss nature.

Chinese evergreens truly are fantastic houseplants: They tolerate low light like a champ (but do best in medium light); they don’t mind the desert-dry low humidity found in many homes over the winter; and you miss watering them from time to time and they hardly seem to notice. Plus, the silver variegation on their leaves adds some pizzazz.

Now we know what you might be thinking: “green plants are great and all, but I like plants that stand out.” And as much as we here at Costa Farms love Chinese evergreens, we’ve always wanted them to have a little more color.
