The Aglaonema 'Red Zircon' (Chinese Evergreen) is an electrifying, jewel-toned showstopper celebrated for its intense ruby-and-emerald coloration. Renowned as one of the most vivid and saturated cultivars in the Aglaonema family, this resilient tropical plant infuses rich warmth and high-contrast elegance into modern indoor spaces.
Each broad, glossy leaf features an expansive wash of fiery ruby red, crimson, and warm coral pink, framed cleanly by deep forest-green margins and midrib accents. Forming a dense, bushy mound supported by pale pinkish petioles, 'Red Zircon' delivers brilliant living color with effortless, beginner-friendly ease.
Vivid Ruby-Red & Emerald Contrast
The signature asset of 'Red Zircon' is its saturated coloration. Deep jewel-toned crimson centers dominate each broad leaf blade, outlined by crisp green borders to create a dramatic, glowing presence under indoor ambient lighting.
Resilient Clumping & Air-Purifying Habit
True to the celebrated hardiness of Chinese Evergreens, 'Red Zircon' is exceptionally adaptable and forgiving of indoor conditions. It grows into a dense, multi-stemmed cluster while naturally helping to purify and refresh indoor room air.
Caution: Toxic to Pets
Like all members of the Aglaonema genus, 'Red Zircon' contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals. Chewing or ingesting any part of the leaves or petioles will cause immediate oral burning, swelling, drooling, and digestive irritation in dogs and cats. Keep it safely elevated out of reach.
Light & Color
▾
Requires consistent, bright indirect filtered light to sustain its intense ruby-red pigmentation and encourage tight foliage growth. While it tolerates lower ambient light better than most colorful plants, bright indirect exposure keeps the red hues deeply saturated. Protect it strictly from harsh, direct afternoon sun to avoid foliage scorch.
Watering
▾
Allow the top 50% of the soil mixture to dry out fully before providing a thorough, deep drench. Aglaonemas are forgiving and mildly drought-tolerant, but their root systems dislike sitting in stagnant, waterlogged potting medium. Always ensure your planter provides free-flowing bottom drainage.
Soil & Care
▾
Adapts effortlessly to standard household humidity (45% to 60%) and steady ambient room warmth. Pot it in a lightweight, well-draining potting blend combining rich coco coir or peat moss amended with coarse perlite, compost, and pine bark to ensure continuous root aeration.
