CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

• ☀️ Light: Hardy, but loves light! To help 'Jungle Red' retain its wonderful, rich red color, it will love bright light best, but it MUST have indirect light (an east- or west-facing window). It can also survive in lower light, but in the shade, the leaves will lose their fiery hue, will fade and turn simply green. Strictly protect it from direct, scorching midday sunlight, which will quickly fade and scorch those colorful leaves.

• 💧 Watering: Moderate and very careful - this plant will forgive you for forgetting, but will never forgive overwatering! Water the plant thoroughly, but ONLY when the top half (or even 2/3 of the pot’s depth) of the soil has completely dried out. It absolutely categorically cannot tolerate roots sitting in standing water in the saucer. If the colorful leaves start turning yellow and soft en masse, that's a clear sign of overwatering.

• 🌡️ Temperature/Humidity: It thrives comfortably at normal indoor temperatures (+18°C to +24°C). This tropical survivor is exceptionally well adapted to dry indoor air and doesn't need special misting, but is extremely sensitive to cold! Protect it well from icy drafts and never keep it in a room where the air temperature drops below +15°C.

• 🐾 Keep away from pets and children: All parts of aglaonemas contain calcium oxalate crystals, which are toxic. Chewing or swallowing them causes a strong burning sensation in the mouth, vomiting and digestive tract problems in dogs and cats.

🏠 BEST ROOM:

• Bright office desks, bedroom dressers, windowsills without direct sunlight, and living rooms, where this fiery red leafy shrub will serve as a bold and energetic design accent.

• Modern, eclectic, boho, or "urban jungle" style interiors, where bold color contrasts and a touch of tropical nature bring vitality to the room.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Height: 30-35 cm 

• Pot diameter: 12 cm

⚠️ A note and a dose of reality about aglaonemas: Plants are living organisms, and aglaonemas are among the few plants that truly lives up to the description "almost indestructible", as long as you avoid its one weak point - standing water in the pot. An important botanical fact: As the plant grows larger and gradually develops a thick stem, is absolutely normal and natural, that the very lowest leaf, an older leaf will occasionally turn yellow and dry out. This is no cause for alarm! Just trim it off. Remember - the more red and colorful tones its leaves have, the more filtered light the plant will need, to keep this unique color vibrant and prevent it from fading. When you repot it in the future, BE SURE to use a light, an airy, well-draining houseplant potting mix (generously blended with perlite or fine pine bark).
