Aglaonema Lipstick

Aglaonema Lipstick has deep-green hued foliage elegantly patterned with bright red or hot pink tones at the leaf edge. The wonderful lip-shaped leaves have the most amazing red edges. Mush like pink varieties. If you want this plant to be happy and keep its wonderful leaf colors, you will need to provide it with more light than a regular deep green Chinese evergreen. Aim for medium light. If it doesn’t receive enough light, it will lose some or all of its wonderful coloration.

It is easily grown in a moist, organically rich, well-drained, peaty potting mixture. Keep the soil slightly moist during the summer and in the winter the topsoil should be dry out between each watering. It prefers ideal temperatures of temperature at 60 to 70 degrees.  It can tolerate less humidity than some other plants, yet it will still appreciate your efforts to improve surrounding humidity levels, either via regular misting or using a pebble tray. Fertilize once a month from spring through summer with a balanced houseplant fertilizer diluted by half.
