Chinese Evergreen 'Red Siam'

Red Siam Chinese Evergreen ❤️🌿 is loved for its bold red-pink stems and vibrant green leaves edged and brushed with rosy color, making it an easy way to add warmth and color to a room without a lot of fuss. It does best in bright indirect light indoors, where the red tones stay strongest, but it also handles medium light well on desks, shelves, and cozy corners. This is a very manageable plant that works well for beginners, as long as it is not kept too wet. Pro tip: if the pink-red color starts looking dull, move it a little closer to brighter light and let the top inch or two of soil dry before watering again 💧.
