🌿 Growth Habit:
Aglaonema Ruby grows in a compact, upright clumping form with dense foliage emerging from multiple stems. It performs best in bright, indirect light, which helps maintain its vibrant coloration, but it also adapts well to medium-light environments. Water when the top portion of the soil begins to dry, and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. With proper care, it develops into a lush, colorful specimen that provides year-round tropical beauty.

Plant Care Guide
Light: Thrives in low to medium indirect light. Tolerates fluorescent lighting, ideal for offices. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch leaves or fade colors.
Water: Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. Keep the soil slightly moist, but never soggy. Reduce watering in winter when growth slows. Yellowing leaves often indicate overwatering.
Temperature: Prefers 18–27°C (65–80°F). Keep away from cold drafts or heat vents. Avoid temperatures below 15°C (60°F).
Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity but adapts to average indoor air. Mist occasionally or use a pebble tray in dry environments.
Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix.
A blend of peat, perlite, and pine bark works best. Ensure the pot has drainage holes.
Fertilizer: Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer at half strength. No need to fertilize in winter.
Maintenance & Tips: Remove yellow or damaged leaves to encourage new growth. Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and enhance shine.
Repot every 2–3 years or when roots outgrow the pot.
