Aglaonema 'Diamond Red' is the Chinese Evergreen that arrived already knowing it was the most valuable thing in the room—those broad, glossy leaves are deeply flushed in rich crimson-red with subtle dark green edging that frames each leaf like a setting around a gemstone, the whole composition warm, saturated, and entirely impossible to overlook. She carries all the Aglaonema ease underneath that jewel-toned exterior, tolerating low light and average conditions with the adaptable grace the genus built its reputation on, while delivering a red intensity that makes other red plants look like they didn't quite commit. Bold, rich, and considerably easier than anything this deeply colored has any right to be.
Care Card
🌿 Light — Low to bright indirect light. More light deepens those crimson-red tones to their most gem-like intensity; lower light is tolerated but the red softens toward burgundy-green—still striking, just less diamond.
💧 Water — Let the top 1–2 inches dry between waterings, then water thoroughly and drain. Classic Aglaonema drought tolerance applies; overwatering is the primary mistake and she'll yellow at the base to register her displeasure before things get serious.
💨 Humidity — Average to moderate, 40–60%. Comfortable in typical home humidity without supplemental assistance—one of the most humidity-tolerant deeply red plants available, which is a genuine gift to everyone.
🌡️ Temperature — 65–80°F. Never below 60°F. No cold drafts, no AC vents—those rich red tones are the first thing to suffer when temperatures drop and she is not quiet about it.
🌱 Fertilizer — Balanced liquid fertilizer monthly in spring and summer. Nothing in fall and winter; consistent and gentle keeps those crimson tones at their most jewel-like and the growth steady.
⚠️ Toxicity — Toxic to pets and humans. Calcium oxalate crystals cause oral irritation and vomiting if ingested.
🐣 Beginner Friendly? — Absolutely yes. Gem-quality color payoff with classic Aglaonema forgiveness—the Diamond Red is the plant that makes a collection look like someone has excellent taste, because choosing this one means they do.
