Red and Green Chinese Evergreen: Aglaonema Red Siam

My sister got a plant that has red and green leaves. The card says it’s a Chinese Evergreen, but i think that’s wrong. Don’t Chinese Evergreen Plants have green and gray leaves?

Hi Lucille,

There are several varieties of Chinese Evergreen Plants that have red and green leaves. My two favorites are the Chinese Evergreen “Red Siam” and the Chinese Evergreen “Firecracker.” Email me a picture and I’ll try to identify the exact variety of red and green Chinese Evergreen your sister has purchased.

These plants are considered poisonous and should be kept away from pets and children. Read more about common houseplants that are poisonous in Don’t Feed Me To Your Cat! A Guide to Poisonous Houseplants.
