Grow red aglaonema in low, medium, or bright light. The plant often shows the best color in medium or indirect light indoors. In most areas, it can take some direct sun on the leaves, but in the Deep South, it's best to diffuse strong sun with a sheer curtain. Water red aglaonema when the soil dries out.

During the winter, reduce watering but do not let the plant dry out completely. Temperature: These plants do not like cold drafts or temperatures below 65 F. Be sure to keep them away from drafty windows or vents and the warmer the spot you can find for them, the better. Soil: A well-drained potting soil is perfect.

Aglaonema like to dry out between waterings, so feel the soil with your finger a few inches down to ensure the soil isn't moist right beneath the surface. If your plant is in a bright location, then you will want to water it when the soil is dry to the touch halfway down the pot.

The plant is equally low-care when it comes to water; you can water regularly, keeping the soil evenly moist, or water once every few weeks and Chinese evergreen will do equally well.
