Aglaonema ‘Red Star’ is an eye-catching tropical houseplant that commands attention with its vivid crimson and emerald foliage. A member of the Araceae family and part of the Chinese Evergreen group, this cultivar originates from the lush rainforests of Southeast Asia, where it thrives in warm, shaded environments beneath the jungle canopy.

The broad, lance-shaped leaves of ‘Red Star’ are a stunning fusion of ruby red, deep pink, and green margins — creating a glowing, starburst effect that intensifies under the right light conditions. Each leaf has a glossy, almost lacquered finish, giving the plant a luxurious and polished appearance. Compact, elegant, and effortlessly vibrant, Aglaonema ‘Red Star’ brings warmth and sophistication to any indoor setting — a living jewel of the tropics.


Aglaonema ‘Red Star’ – Care Guide

Light

Prefers bright, indirect light to enhance its vivid red and pink hues. Too much direct sunlight can cause leaf scorch, while too little light may result in dull colouring. It will adapt to lower light conditions but grows best with filtered daylight, such as near an east-facing window.

Watering

Keep the soil evenly moist during spring and summer but allow the top 2–3 cm to dry out before watering again. Reduce watering in winter when growth slows. Avoid letting the plant sit in water, as Aglaonemas are prone to root rot. Use filtered or room-temperature water to avoid mineral build-up.

Temperature and Humidity

Temperature: Thrives between 18–28 °C. Avoid cold drafts, sudden temperature drops, or placing near air conditioning units or radiators.
Humidity: Moderate humidity (50–70%) suits it well. Mist occasionally or group with other tropical plants to maintain moisture levels. In dry environments, consider using a humidifier.

Soil and Potting

Use a loose, well-draining mix rich in organic matter — a blend of compost, perlite, and coco coir works well. Repot every 2–3 years in spring or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot with drainage holes to prevent excess moisture build-up.

Feeding

Feed every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted, balanced houseplant fertiliser. Reduce feeding in autumn and winter. Avoid over-fertilising, as this can cause salt build-up and tip burn on the delicate leaves.

Pruning and Maintenance

Trim away older or yellowing leaves to keep the plant looking fresh. Wipe leaves gently with a damp cloth to remove dust and restore their vibrant shine. Rotate occasionally for even exposure to light and symmetrical growth.

Growth and Maturity

Aglaonema ‘Red Star’ is a slow to moderate grower, typically reaching 40–60 cm in height and spread. Mature plants form a compact, bushy shape with lush, upright leaves. Occasionally, small white spathes may appear, but this plant is primarily valued for its decorative foliage rather than its blooms.

Common Issues

  • Yellow leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage.

  • Faded colour: Insufficient light.

  • Brown edges: Low humidity or hard water use.

  • Pests: May occasionally attract mealybugs or spider mites; treat promptly with neem oil or insecticidal soap.


Background and Benefits

Aglaonema ‘Red Star’ is part of a long line of ornamental Chinese Evergreen hybrids bred for their colourful foliage and easy-going nature. Revered in many Asian cultures as a symbol of prosperity and positive energy, this cultivar adds both good fortune and bold colour to the home.

Known for its ability to purify indoor air by removing toxins like formaldehyde and benzene, it’s both decorative and functional. While safe to touch, the plant contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can irritate the mouth and stomach if ingested — so it’s best kept out of reach of pets.

Styling Tip

Aglaonema ‘Red Star’ adds instant warmth and vibrancy to any space. Display it in a simple white, charcoal, or gold-toned pot to complement its jewel-like colouring. It pairs beautifully with green-leaved companions such as Philodendron ‘Imperial Green’ or Ficus elastica ‘Robusta’. Perfect for living rooms, offices, or shaded hallways, it injects colour and life into even the dullest corners — a true statement of tropical luxury.

    Great quality, hummingbird nectar all in one bottle!

    I was so excited to get this hummingbird nectar because you don’t have to add anything to it at all. When I was reading the ingredients, it does have a preservative so that’s good as well. It won’t go bad on the birds. I love it. I saw my birds coming and going to this feeder all day. I highly recommend it.

    Birds seem to love it!
    Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), Style: 16 Fl Oz Concentrate (Pack of 2)
    I grew up using homemade hummingbird food dyed a bright red color with koolaid or food dye. But for the first time in my adult life, I'm somewhere that has a lot of hummingbirds and I wanted to provide them with the best juice possible. I decided on this juice because I like that it has hummingbird friendly electrolytes and is in a concentrate so I can make my own preferred dilution. I am in a very hot desert climate so I've been doing a 1-3/3.5 ratio to help keep them extra hydrated and the hummingbirds and bees are loving it. We have four feeders. Two closer to the ground and two on our second floor balcony. The birds and bees have been visiting all four regularly and our cats are loving the show. I swear my youngest cat gets most excited about the bees. I know the bees are seen as problematic for most but the birds don't seem to mind them sharing a few feeding holes and we don't mind feeding the bees too. The bees are probably more important for our ecosystem than the birds anyway. I took away one star because the seals on the bottles aren't very strong and both had leaked during transit, one was very messy and crusted with dried sugar. Since these are technically supposed to be refrigerated after opening I probably should have returned them but upon reading the ingredients, I don't see a reason that they would have gone bad without showing obvious signs of spoilage. It's basically gatorade for birds. I even took a sip to see if I died. I was fine so figured it's fine for the birds too. If the next order is also leaking I'll consider going elsewhere but for now we have happy birds, bees and cats.

    They keep coming back for more ..........
    Size: 64 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: 64 oz Ready To Use
    I've only been using this food for two weeks, but the hummingbirds love it so far. From what I've read, they are attracted to the color of the feeder more so than the smell of the nectar / food itself. With the amount of work that hummingbirds have to go through just to find enough food to survive, I figure it is worth the extra cost of this food compared to making plain sugar water that does not have the added minerals and electrolytes that this feed has to mimic real nectar.

    Great product
    Size: 64 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: 64 oz Ready To Use
    I bought this same product last year for my hummingbirds and it brings them into the feeder. So, as of today I have already seen a steady increase in the hummingbirds. 💕
