Aglaonema Aurora Siam is a colorful tropical houseplant known for its lush green leaves accented with vibrant red to pink margins, stems, and veining. Its bold coloring and dense, upright growth habit make it an eye-catching addition to desks, shelves, plant stands, offices, and bright indoor spaces. Like other Aglaonema varieties, it combines beautiful foliage with an easy-going nature.
The proper name is commonly listed as Aglaonema ‘Siam Aurora’, although it may also be sold as Aglaonema Aurora Siam, Red Siam, or Siam Aurora Red. It is a cultivated variety of Chinese Evergreen selected for its distinctive red-edged foliage.
Aglaonema Siam Aurora does best in medium to bright, indirect light. Brighter filtered light helps maintain stronger red and pink coloring. It can tolerate lower light, but its colors may become less vibrant and growth may slow. Avoid harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
Water thoroughly when the top inch or two of soil feels dry and allow excess water to drain. Aglaonema prefer lightly moist soil but do not like sitting in wet soil, so avoid watering too frequently.
Use a well-draining potting mix and a pot with drainage. A standard houseplant mix with added perlite, orchid bark, or coco coir works well and provides a good balance of moisture retention and airflow around the roots.
Aglaonema Siam Aurora prefers warm temperatures and moderate humidity. It adapts well to average household conditions but appreciates additional humidity when available. Keep it away from cold drafts, heating vents, and air conditioning.
This plant has a compact, upright, and bushy growth habit and requires very little maintenance. Remove older or damaged leaves as needed to keep the plant looking full and healthy. Its adaptability and colorful foliage make it a great choice for both newer plant owners and experienced collectors.
Aglaonema plants are toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. They contain insoluble calcium oxalate crystals that can cause irritation of the mouth and digestive tract. Keep them away from pets and small children.
