Caring for Your Siam Red Chinese Evergreen

Keep your Aglaonema Siam Aurora Red thriving with these care tips:

  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to bring out the boldest colors, but can also tolerate lower-light conditions.
  • Water: Keep the soil consistently moist during spring and summer, but reduce watering in winter. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
  • Humidity: This plant thrives in moderate to high humidity. Use a humidifier or mist the leaves if your home is dry.
  • Temperature: Prefers temperatures between 65–80°F. Keep it away from cold drafts.
  • Pruning: Prune as needed to remove brown or dead leaves and promote healthy growth.
  • Feeding: Requires minimal feeding. Use a liquid fertilizer once or twice during the growing season to encourage vibrant foliage.
  • Propagation:Can be propagated through root division or stem cuttings.
  • Pests: Mostly pest-resistant, but occasionally check for aphids, mealybugs, or spider mites.
  • Toxicity: Keep out of reach of pets and children, as the plant is toxic if ingested.

Why the Siam Red Stands Out

One of the most unique features of the Siam Red Chinese Evergreen is its ability to adapt to various indoor environments. Unlike many houseplants that require specific light conditions, the Siam Red can thrive in both bright rooms and shadier spots, making it one of the most versatile indoor plants you can own.

Pro Tip: To encourage more vibrant red coloration, place your Siam Red in a spot with bright, indirect light.

Fun Fact: Color That Changes with Light

The Siam Red Chinese Evergreen displays dynamic color changes depending on light exposure. In brighter light, the red hues become more vivid, while in lower light, the green tones dominate, creating a varied display that keeps your plant collection interesting year-round.

History of the Chinese Evergreen

The Chinese Evergreen has been cultivated for centuries in Southeast Asia, where it grows in the understory of tropical forests. Traditionally seen as a symbol of good luck and prosperity, the plant has become a favorite in homes around the world. The Siam Red variety was specifically bred to enhance the plant’s colorful foliage, making it a popular choice for those looking to add a bold statement plant to their collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Shipping

How do you ship your plants?

We carefully package each plant with love by hand right from our shop in Brooklyn. Extra steps are taken to ensure that every leaf arrives in pristine shape by using polyfill and encapsulating the plant in a protective paper sleeve. The soil is also hydrated before shipping so that the plant has plenty of water for it's travel to your doorstep. We offer several shipping speeds, so please choose the one that you feel comfortable with depending on your location. 

Will my plant look like the one on the website?

Awesome question, we're glad you asked. Given the nature of our plant shop, we're constantly moving plants in and out of the shop, making it difficult and borderline impossible to keep an exact picture of each plant. In addition to the constantly rotating crop, we often grow in batches of 6, 12, or sometimes more! With this quantity we are unable to take a photo of each and every plant. The photos that we attach to each product listing is going to be of a plant that represents the average size and fullness of that set of plants. Some may be slightly larger or smaller, but in general, similar.

Do you include heat packs with your plants?

We offer Heat Packs for sale separately from the plants in 40, 60 and 72 hour increments. Please add a heat pack or two to your order if you live in an area where your order may be affected during transit by cold temperatures. We are not responsible for orders that are placed and damage is incurred to the plant if a heat pack is not purchased.

Which heat pack should I choose?

Heat packs come in three different increments, so please choose the appropriate hour increment depending on the speed of shipping that you choose during checkout. For example, if you choose a cheaper shipping option that will take longer, please select the 72 hour heat pack. If you've chosen a shorter method of shipping, the 40 or 60 hour increment would work! We like to encourage our customers to always get more than you need, just to be on the safe side!

Standard shipping normally takes 3-5 days. Next day shipping is available on all domestic orders (for an additional charge). International shipping times depend on the products and destination (estimated at checkout).
