Aglaonema ‘Jungle Red’

Allow the top few centimetres of the growing medium to dry before watering thoroughly, then let all excess water drain away. Avoid keeping the roots constantly wet or leaving the pot standing in water. Reduce watering during cooler months when growth slows.

Bright, indirect light is ideal for healthy growth and maintaining Jungle Red's colourful foliage. It can tolerate softer light, although growth may slow and its colouring may become less vibrant. Avoid prolonged harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

Jungle Red appreciates average to moderately high household humidity and warm, stable conditions. Additional humidity can support healthy foliage, but avoid keeping the leaves constantly wet. Keep it away from cold draughts, radiators and sudden temperature changes.

Feed with a balanced houseplant fertiliser around once a month during active growth in spring and summer, following the manufacturer's instructions. Reduce feeding during autumn and winter when growth naturally slows.

Jungle Red has a naturally compact, bushy growth habit. Repot when noticeably root-bound, moving up only slightly in pot size and using a light, well-draining houseplant mix. Remove older or damaged leaves at the base when needed to keep the plant looking its best.

Aglaonema ‘Jungle Red’ is not considered pet safe and should be kept out of reach of cats, dogs and other pets that may chew the foliage. If you suspect your pet has eaten part of the plant, contact your vet for advice.
