Aglaonema 'Crete'

Red-pink margins, green leaf centres and flushed petioles give Aglaonema 'Crete' a sharper outline than many pale Chinese evergreens. The colour follows the edge, midrib and stem line, so the plant shows red detail from the top and from the side.

This cultivar grows as a compact upright clump from a short base. The leaves sit close together when young, then angle outward as the petioles lengthen, giving even smaller plants a defined crown.

Crete red-margin traits

  • Green leaf centres framed by red to pink margins
  • Flushed petioles with colour visible below the leaf blades
  • Glossy oval to elliptic leaves with a slightly leathery feel
  • Self-heading growth from a compact basal crown
  • Warm, filtered-light position for firm petioles and fewer scorch marks on the red leaf edges

Red margins, petioles and genus background

Aglaonema 'Crete' carries its strongest colour along the leaf margins and petioles. Young leaves open from the centre with softer colour, then flatten and deepen as the blade matures.

The genus Aglaonema is associated with warm, shaded tropical habitats across Asia and New Guinea. 'Crete' is the cultivar name used for this red-edged Aglaonema selection.

Stable warmth keeps petioles firm, filtered light reduces scorch, and an aerated substrate keeps the crown base from softening.

Growing Aglaonema 'Crete' indoors

  • Light: Give medium to bright indirect light. Direct midday sun near hot glass can scorch the red leaf edges, while very low light can stretch the petioles.
  • Watering: Water when the upper 40–60% of the potting mix has dried. Keep the root zone lightly moist during active growth and drier when conditions are cool or dark.
  • Substrate: Use a loose, aerated houseplant mix with fine bark, coir or peat-free fibre, plus mineral drainage, so the crown base does not sit in stale wet substrate.
  • Drainage: A free-draining nursery pot keeps air moving around the compact basal crown.
  • Temperature: Aim for 18–24 °C indoors. Keep the plant away from cold glass, unheated rooms and cold draughts.
  • Humidity: At normal household humidity, most new leaves unfold without sticking. In very dry rooms, nearby plants or a humidifier can reduce crinkled new growth.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly while the plant is actively producing new leaves, using a diluted balanced fertiliser. Flush the pot occasionally to reduce salt build-up.
  • Pot choice: Keep the pot close to root size. A young 'Crete' in a deep oversized pot can stay wet at the base for too long.
  • Repotting: Repot when roots circle the pot or the mix compacts. Keep the crown at the same depth after repotting, as a buried crown base can stay wet and soften.
  • Pruning: Remove spent lower leaves cleanly at the base so damp leaf material stays clear of the crown.
  • Temporary outdoor placement: In warm, sheltered shade with nights above 16 °C, this plant can spend time outside. Bring it indoors again before cool nights return.
  • Propagation: Divide mature clumps with separate rooted shoots. Fresh divisions need warmth and light, even moisture while cut roots produce new tips.

Crete leaf and crown signals

  • Yellow base leaves: Check the bottom of the pot and the crown base. Several fading lower leaves can indicate wet mix or a cool root zone.
  • Brown patches on leaves: Review direct sun, cold exposure and water sitting on leaves in a cool room.
  • Soft petioles: Check root firmness and let the mix breathe again before watering. Firm petioles hold the red-edged leaves upright.
  • Dry leaf edges: Check watering gaps, fertiliser strength and warm airflow. Red margins show edge stress quickly.
  • Uneven crown: Rotate the pot regularly so new petioles do not all lean toward the same side.

Crete safety and removed foliage

Leaves, stems and sap of Aglaonema 'Crete' contain insoluble calcium oxalate crystals. If plant tissue is eaten, it can irritate the mouth, tongue and throat and may cause drooling or vomiting in pets. Keep removed leaves out of reach as well, and wash your hands after pruning.

Perfect, Versatile, Sink Organizer
Color: Black, Size: Medium
Perfect organizer for my kitchen sink. Thoughtful design keeps water directed into the sink, not the counter. Dividers can be moved to suit your needs. The hanging basket fits on either end, or sits in the top rack. Holds a LOT of items beautifully!

Great Caddy
Color: Black, Size: Medium
Perfect for our needs. Holds everything we need and keeps things tidy and well drained which also keeps the sink rim clean around the faucet. The size is nice and I appreciate the lover tier for putting the drain plugs as we have three of varying types. It keeps them clean and out of the way when not in use. I also love that the brush caddy hanges off the side instead of taking space like other designs do. It looks nice and just all around makes the sink area look tidier. The height is good and while lightweight it stays out.

Nice clutter catcher!
Color: Black, Size: Medium, Color: Black, Size: Medium
I've been using this for quite some time now since I purchased it I wanted to give it time to make sure that I actually used and experienced product before reviewing. I haven't really had any issues with it it holds everything it's been sturdy enough that when I'm doing dishes I can just push down on the pumps on it without any issues. The draining portion of it is a little Hit or Miss sometimes it drains properly other times it drains onto the side of it but I think that is just placement of the tray the one that I have it's not fully engulfing the whole bottom part so there is spots for water to leak through. The side rack is also convenient I use it to store my scrubbies and straw cleaners I did have to put something down to prevent water from getting behind my sink on that spot but other than that everything's been fine my sponges fit up underneath it fine. the only thing that would make it better is if it had a scrub Daddy or Mommy holder!

The Caddy fulfills it's duty
Color: Black, Size: Medium
This caddy turns out to be everything I hoped it would. So often I'll purchase an item and it turns out to be cheaply made or wonky. But this 2-Tier Kitchen Sink Caddy fulfilled it's mission and cleaned up my sink area. Everything is handily stored in it's compartments.
