The Aglaonema Red Zircone is a tropical houseplant distinguished by its colorful foliage featuring shades of red, pink, and green. This variety of Chinese Evergreen is valued for its ability to add color to indoor spaces while requiring relatively little maintenance.
Color and Appearance
Leaves display a combination of red, pink, and green tones. The red coloring is concentrated along the leaf center and veins, while the edges tend to remain green. The foliage has a glossy, smooth texture and an oval shape. Plants grown in brighter light typically show more red coloration.

This plant ships in a 4-inch nursery pot and typically arrives at 8 to 10 inches tall. At maturity, it reaches approximately 18 to 24 inches in height with a spread of 12 to 18 inches. Individual leaves measure 6 to 8 inches in length. The plant's medium size makes it suitable for tabletops, credenzas, and floor corners.
