Growing tips

In India keep it in bright shade for the best red colour, protect it from direct sun and cold, and water less in the monsoon to prevent root rot.

Aglaonema Red Lipstick Care

Aglaonema Red Lipstick (Aglaonema Siam Aurora) thrives in bright, indirect light, though it tolerates medium light better than most coloured foliage plants. Water when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry, and use a well-draining potting mix so the roots never sit in water. Keep it in a warm spot away from cold draughts and wipe the leaves occasionally to keep them glossy and dust-free.

Where to place Aglaonema Red Lipstick

Its pink-and-red variegated leaves brighten living rooms, bedrooms, office desks and reception areas without needing direct sun. Set it a metre or two from an east- or north-facing window, or under steady indoor lighting, and it will hold its colour well. Choose a smaller size for tabletops and shelves, or a larger one as a floor-standing accent in a corner that gets gentle light.

Aglaonema Red Lipstick Benefits & Uses

It is a practical pick for beginners, busy homes and indoor spaces with limited natural light.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I water Aglaonema Red Lipstick?
Water when the top 3-5 cm of soil dries, roughly weekly. It tolerates slight dryness better than overwatering.
How much light does it need?
It grows in low to bright indirect light, but brighter shade brings out the strongest red and pink colour.
Is Aglaonema safe for pets?
No. Aglaonema is toxic if chewed and the sap irritates the mouth; keep it away from cats, dogs and children.
Why are the leaves losing colour?
Too little light fades the red tones, while direct sun scorches leaves. Bright indirect light keeps colour vivid.
When should I repot it?
Repot every two years or when root-bound, in spring, using a rich well-draining mix one pot size up.
How do I propagate it?
Propagate by dividing the clump at repotting or by rooting stem cuttings in the warm season.
Can it grow in low-light rooms?
Yes, it is one of the best plants for low-light spaces, though colour is richer in brighter shade.
Why are leaf tips turning brown?
Brown tips usually mean dry air, inconsistent watering or salt build-up; raise humidity and flush the soil occasionally.
Does it flower?
It occasionally produces a small greenish-white spathe, but it is grown mainly for its colourful foliage.
What fertilizer should I use?
Feed monthly with a balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season and pause in winter.
