Aglaonema ‘Fuji Red’ Care Guide

Light:
Place your Aglaonema ‘Fuji Red’ in bright, indirect light for the best leaf color. It can tolerate low light, but the vibrant red foliage may become less intense. Avoid direct afternoon sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

Water:
Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feels dry. Keep the soil slightly moist but never soggy. Reduce watering during cooler months and ensure excess water drains freely.

Humidity:
This plant thrives in moderate to high humidity (50–70%). If the air is dry, mist the leaves occasionally or place the pot near a humidifier.

Temperature:
Maintain temperatures between 18°C and 30°C. Protect the plant from cold drafts and temperatures below 15°C.

Soil:
Use a well-draining, nutrient-rich potting mix containing coco peat or peat moss, perlite, and compost for healthy root growth.

Fertilizer:
Feed once a month during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Avoid over-fertilizing, as it can damage the roots.

Pruning:
Remove yellow, damaged, or old leaves regularly to encourage fresh growth and keep the plant looking healthy.

Repotting:
Repot every 2–3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot with drainage holes that is only slightly larger than the current one.

Common Problems:

• Yellow leaves: Usually caused by overwatering.
• Brown leaf tips: Often due to low humidity or inconsistent watering.
• Faded leaf color: Caused by insufficient light.
• Watch for pests such as spider mites, mealybugs, and scale insects.

Pet Safety:
Aglaonema ‘Fuji Red’ is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. Keep it out of reach of children and pets.

AlansGarden Tip:
Rotate the pot every few weeks so all sides receive equal light, helping your Aglaonema ‘Fuji Red’ grow evenly with vibrant, colorful foliage.
