Frequently Asked Questions
Can Aglaonema Red Siam survive in a room with no windows?
It tolerates low light better than most houseplants, but it still needs some ambient light or a grow light to hold its color. A truly windowless room will cause slow decline over time, even for this shade-tolerant variety.
Why is my Aglaonema Red Siam losing its red coloration?
Fading red pigment almost always signals too little light. Move it to a brighter spot with indirect light — but keep it out of direct sun, which can scorch the leaves rather than deepen their color.
