The most colourful houseplant we know, Aglaonema ‘Red Joy’ is one of the most cheerful red-leafed Chinese evergreens in cultivation. Its lance-shaped leaves are richly flushed in warm rose-red, framed by crisp dark green margins, while midribs and veins are brushed with deeper burgundy adding depth and contrast to every leaf.

Origins
Aglaonemas are native to the tropical and subtropical forests of Southeast Asia, spanning southern China, India, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea. ‘Red Joy’ is a modern ornamental cultivar, bred for its bold, high-impact red variegation.

Soil & Substrate
Aglaonemas prefer a rich, moisture-retentive yet well-draining substrate. Our Simply Houseplant Mix is perfectly suited to ‘Red Joy’. This peat-free blend of coco coir, bark, and perlite maintains consistent moisture without becoming waterlogged, supporting healthy root systems and helping the plant retain its vivid red colouring.
