Aglaonema 'Siam Aurora'

aglaonema siam

Also known as: Red Chinese Evergreen, Siam Aurora, Aglaonema Firecracker

Native to the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia, Aglaonema Siam has been cultivated for centuries as a symbol of good luck and wellbeing. What sets it apart from the rest of the Chinese Evergreen family is its fiery color — deep green leaves dramatically edged and veined in rich red and pink tones that glow warmer with more light. Bold, easy to grow, and virtually indestructible, it's one of the most striking houseplants you can bring home.

  • water

    Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly once a week during spring and summer, less in cooler months. Don't let it sit in standing water.

  • light

    Thrives in medium to bright indirect light. More light intensifies the red and pink leaf colors — keep away from direct sun which can scorch the leaves.

  • zone

    Houseplant.

  • size

    Grows 2–3 ft. tall and 2–3 ft. wide — full, bushy, and perfectly sized for any indoor space.

care

Aglaonema Siam thrives in warm, humid conditions — keep it away from cold drafts and air conditioning vents. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry and wipe leaves occasionally to keep their vibrant color looking its best. Remove yellowing leaves at the base to encourage healthy new growth. Feed monthly with a balanced liquid fertilizer during spring and summer — skip fertilizing in winter when growth naturally slows.
