Description

The Aglaonema Red Peacock is a stunning variety of the Aglaonema genus, prized for its vibrant and colorful foliage. Here’s a detailed overview of this plant:

Description

  • Foliage: The leaves of the Aglaonema Red Peacock are strikingly beautiful, featuring a mix of red, pink, and green. The colorful variegation resembles the feathers of a peacock, hence the name.
  • Size: Typically grows to a height of 1-2 feet, making it an excellent choice for indoor settings.

Care Tips

  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light conditions but thrives best in well-lit areas. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can cause leaf burn.
  • Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
  • Humidity: Prefers higher humidity levels but can adapt to average indoor humidity. Using a humidifier or placing the plant on a pebble tray with water can help increase humidity.
  • Temperature: Ideal temperature range is between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Avoid exposure to cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
  • Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix. A mix designed for houseplants or a combination of peat, perlite, and sand works well.
  • Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding during the fall and winter months.

Propagation

  • Division: The most common and easiest method is by division. Carefully separate the plant at the roots and pot each section individually.
  • Stem Cuttings: Can also be propagated using stem cuttings placed in water or directly into soil.

Common Issues

  • Pests: Watch for common houseplant pests such as spider mites, aphids, and mealybugs. Regularly inspect the plant and treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil if necessary.
  • Yellowing Leaves: Often a sign of overwatering or poor drainage. Ensure the plant is not sitting in water and adjust watering habits accordingly.

Benefits

  • Air Purification: Like other Aglaonema varieties, the Red Peacock helps improve indoor air quality by removing toxins.
  • Aesthetic Appeal: Its vibrant and colorful foliage makes it a striking addition to any indoor space, adding a touch of natural beauty and color.
