Aglaonema 'Red Emerald' is a hardy plant, suitable for beginners. Here is the care guide:

1. Light:

• Prefers medium or low indirect light. It can also adapt to partial shade conditions.
• Avoid direct sunlight exposure, as it can burn the leaves.

2. Watering:

• Water the plant when the top layer of soil is dry, usually once a week during summer and less often in winter.
• Avoid overwatering, as roots may rot.

3. Humidity:

• Loves high humidity, but also tolerates drier environments.
• In very dry conditions, mist the leaves with water or use a humidifier.

4. Soil:

• Use well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Mixes for tropical plants or succulents are ideal.
• Ensure the pot has drainage holes.

5. Temperature:

• The ideal temperature is between 18-27°C.
• Avoid temperatures below 15°C and exposure to cold drafts.

6. Fertilizing:

• Fertilize the plant once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a liquid fertilizer for indoor plants.
• Fertilizing is not necessary in the cold season.

7. Repotting:

• Repot the plant every 2-3 years or when the roots become crowded. Use a pot slightly larger than the previous one.

8. Leaf cleaning:

• Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and keep the plant shiny.
