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.

Live Plants – Frequently Asked Questions
Shipping
What size plant will I receive?
What size plant will I receive?
The size shown on the product page refers to the approximate diameter of the nursery pot, not the plant’s total height or width. Plant height, fullness, leaf size, vine length, and growth pattern naturally vary by variety and individual plant.
Will my plant look exactly like the photographs?
Will my plant look exactly like the photographs?
Each live plant is naturally unique. The plant you receive will be the variety and pot size ordered, but its shape, coloration, leaf count, fullness, and maturity may differ from the example photographs. Seasonal growth, recent pruning, and natural variation may also affect its appearance.
Is the decorative pot included?
Is the decorative pot included?
Unless the product listing specifically states otherwise, live plants arrive in a standard nursery grow pot. Decorative planters, baskets, saucers, stands, and other accessories are sold separately. Please review the product title and description to confirm what is included.
When will my plant ship or be delivered?
When will my plant ship or be delivered?
Please allow approximately 5–15 business days for processing and preparation. Five business days is the earliest end of the range, and many orders require most or all of the stated processing window.
Processing time is separate from carrier transit time. Local NYC delivery also requires preparation and does not automatically mean same-day or next-day service.
Orders may occasionally require additional time because of plant availability, order volume, weather, seasonal demand, or courier coordination. We will send an update when confirmed fulfillment, tracking, or delivery information becomes available.
How are live plants packaged?
How are live plants packaged?
Each live plant is inspected and packed according to its size, shape, and shipping needs. Soil and foliage may be secured to reduce movement during transit, and protective materials may be added when appropriate.
Temporary drooping, shifted soil, limited leaf loss, or minor cosmetic stress can occur while a plant adjusts after shipping. This does not necessarily mean the plant is unhealthy.
What should I do when my plant arrives?
What should I do when my plant arrives?
Unpack the plant promptly and carefully remove all protective packaging. Place it in appropriate light and allow it time to adjust to its new environment.
Check the soil before watering. Do not water automatically upon arrival because the plant may already have adequate moisture. Avoid immediately fertilizing, heavily pruning, or repeatedly moving the plant while it acclimates.
Should I repot my plant immediately?
Should I repot my plant immediately?
We generally recommend allowing a newly delivered plant time to acclimate before repotting unless there is an urgent plant-health reason to do so.
Repotting an eligible small plant during the first 15 days may void the Plant Health Guarantee because it can make the cause of decline difficult to determine.
What should I do if my plant arrives damaged?
What should I do if my plant arrives damaged?
Report shipping or delivery damage within 48 hours. Keep the plant and all packaging while the concern is being reviewed.
Please provide your order number, a photograph of the entire plant, close-up photographs of the concern, and photographs of the box and packaging when applicable.
Small plants in nursery pots measuring 8 inches and below may also qualify for our 15-Day Plant Health Guarantee. Large plants in nursery pots measuring 10 inches and above have a 48-hour inspection and reporting window.
Review our Refund & Returns Policy for complete eligibility and documentation requirements.
