    ‘Ruby Crab’ is the creme de la crab of Chinese Evergreens. Native to the understory of warm, humid forests in Asia, this plant is very easy to grow in lower light conditions–even in rooms with only artificial light. ‘Ruby Crab’ features shiny, lance-shaped leaves with green margins & veining, and heavy splashes of pale crimson & cream, akin to the rosy blush of a crab. These low maintenance plants are excellent for beginners or houseplant enthusiasts wanting to add a spray of color to their collection.

    Maintenance Notes: 
    • For optimal performance, keep your Aglaonema at 60-85°F (15-29°C). 
    • Aglaonemas are easy-care plants, capable of growing well in varying levels of light & humidity. They will, however, have the most pronounced variegation/coloration in a higher light situation. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight or they may burn.
    • Aglaonemas prefer to dry out in between waterings. As such, water your Aglaonema thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry. 
    • Feed your Aglaonema once per month at half strength when it is actively growing. Reduce frequency of fertilization in the winter months. If no new leaves are growing, it does not need to be fertilized.
    • Protect furniture when watering & fertilizing.
    • Your Aglaonema will perform well under most circumstances, but after some time, if you notice its leaves wilting, despite being sufficiently watered, it has likely become rootbound and needs to be potted up. When repotting your Aglaonema, use an all-purpose potting mix, with orchid bark and perlite added to ensure good drainage and adequate nutrition.
