Baby Aglaonema 'Red Zirkon'
Aglaonema Red Zirkon is a brilliant specimen also known as Chinese Evergreen, Philippine Evergreen or Poison Dart Plant. It forms striking-looking leaves with dark pink-red colouring in the middle, outwardly fading to a unique mix of cream and green variegated margins.
A brilliant choice for a beginner plant owner, the Aglaonema is tolerant of fairly low light levels (although develops more pronounced colours when exposed to more light) and doesn’t require much care aside from watering when the soil feels dry to touch and occasional feeding.
Use a well-draining houseplant compost mix and apply houseplant feed once a month in spring and summer. If you find that the plant develops brown leaf tips, try misting the leaves.
Growing your Aglaonema from its baby stage and watching it mature over time, from a tiny leafy stem to a healthy, fully grown plant is a delight to witness. It’s also easily propagated in soil or water via stem cuttings.
It’s not unusual to give your plant a name… so don’t hesitate to choose one that you think suits the plant! Try naming your plant with the first name or word that you think of when you look at it - that’s how we ended up with an orchid named Clover and spider plant called Joseph.
