AHHH--The red Agloneamas are so pretty! A new color for this plant. They also have
created a pink one and a speckled one. Aglonema is also known as "Chinese Evergreen
and, "back when"....they only came in green with silvery spots in the leaves.
Aglonemas are easy. LOW LIGHT plants to grow. Just do not overwater them..
They can take a bit of drying out before you water them again. Check soil w/your finger.
A torn leaf is just damage from shipping--handling-- or such. It can be cut back all the way
down to where the leaf grows from. It will NOT affect the plant in any way.
Do not hurry to pot-up newly purchased houseplants. They are fine in the pots they come in.
When the time comes to pot-up--make sure you only choose a pot ONE SIZE bigger and NEVER EVER
add extra soil on top of the existing level the plant has been growing at when you do re-pot.
Lets say--your plant is now in an 8" pot. You would go to a 10" pot when re-potting. 2" wider--also means 2" deeper.
SO--add the extra 2" of soil to the bottom of the pot and sides--NOT on top of it. That may be a death sentence...
Hope this helps. Gita
