Aglaonema 'Crete'

Aglaonema 'Crete' is a red-edged Chinese evergreen with green leaf centres, pink-red margins and flushed petioles. The colour follows the edge, midrib and stem line, creating a clear red-green outline from the centre of the crown outward.

This cultivar grows as a compact upright clump from a short base. The leaves sit close together at first, then angle outward as the petioles lengthen, giving even a smaller plant a defined crown and visible colour from several sides.

Aglaonema 'Crete' red-margin traits

  • Green leaf centres framed by red to pink leaf margins
  • Flushed petioles that keep colour visible from the side
  • Compact upright crown with a self-heading growth habit
  • Glossy oval to elliptic leaves with a slightly leathery feel

Crown growth, red margins and petioles

Aglaonema 'Crete' carries red-pink colour along the margins and petioles. Young leaves open from the centre with softer colour, then flatten and firm as the blade matures. Older leaves can deepen along the edge while the green centre remains the main surface area of the blade.

The wider Aglaonema genus is associated with warm, shaded tropical habitats across Asia and New Guinea. In indoor cultivation, those forest conditions call for stable warmth, filtered light and a substrate that holds moisture while allowing oxygen around the roots. The compact crown of Aglaonema 'Crete' makes airflow around the base important, especially in cooler months.

Care points for Aglaonema 'Crete'

  • Light: Give medium to bright indirect light. A sheer curtain or position away from direct midday rays protects the glossy surface.
  • Watering: Water when the upper 40–60% of the potting mix has dried. Keep the root zone lightly moist during active growth and let it dry further in winter.
  • Substrate: Use a balanced, aerated houseplant mix with fine bark, coir or peat-free fibre, and mineral drainage.
  • Drainage: A free-draining nursery pot is important because the compact basal crown needs air around the root zone.
  • Temperature: Aim for 18–24 °C indoors. Keep away from cold glass, unheated rooms and winter draughts.
  • Humidity: Normal household humidity is usually suitable. Grouping plants or using a humidifier can reduce stuck or crisp new growth in dry rooms.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly in spring and summer. Use a diluted balanced fertiliser and flush the pot occasionally to reduce salt build-up.
  • Pot choice: Keep the pot close to root size. A compact Aglaonema in a deep oversized pot stays wet for too long at the base.
  • Repotting: Repot when roots circle the pot or the mix compacts. Keep the crown at the same depth after repotting.
  • Pruning: Remove spent lower leaves cleanly at the base. This keeps the upright crown tidy and reduces hidden damp leaf material.
  • Outdoor summer placement: Move outside only in warm, sheltered shade once nights stay above 16 °C. Bring back indoors before cool nights return.
  • Propagation: Divide only mature clumps with separate rooted shoots. Fresh divisions need warmth and even moisture while roots re-establish.

Aglaonema '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: Check for direct sun, cold exposure or water sitting on leaves in a cool room.
  • Soft petioles: Check root firmness and reduce watering until the mix breathes again. Firm petioles hold the leaf edge clearly.
  • Dry leaf edges: Check watering gaps, fertiliser strength and warm airflow. Red margins show edge stress quickly.
  • Uneven crown: Rotate the pot every few weeks so new leaves develop evenly around the centre.

Explains It Very Well
"The Sacred Romance" describes the way that our relationship with God is SUPPOSED to be, and then discusses the hardships that hinder the ideal relationship with Him. The authors use down-to-earth stories and compare them to God's love, allowing readers to gain a new perspective on God. I cannot say that I truly understand God's love completely, because there is no way that any human could fully comprehend it. However, after reading this book, I can say that I think I understand God's love a little more. This book is an excellent read, and I would recommend it to anyone who would like to have a closer relationship with God.

Love me … Love me not
It’s about how much WE / YOU matter to God! Personally I read it with a group of 10 men. We all are grateful we did!

A Must Read For Anyone!
Rarely have I come across an author more succinct, simple to read and real than John Eldredge. The book left me longing for more - in a good way. I wanted God to love me. I wanted to go to Eternal Life so I can be reunited with Him and just bask in His love for me. It challenges your thinking - as all good writing should. I loved it. I own 5 copies. "I don't know... when I see one I just have to buy it... to feel normal." ~Conspiracy Theory. But I have read it, so I'm not an ex-government spook, reconditioned by drugs and brainwashing on the MK-Ultra Plan or anything. You must buy this book. They are watching. (I am giving copies to all my kids to read when they get a little older.)

Sturdy & Perfect Size
Color: Black
Love this sponge/soap holder. This is a perfect size to put scrubs, sponges, brushes and soap. Keeps your sink area clean and organized. It’s very sturdy and drains right into your sink. It also stays in place.
