Aglaonema 'Crete'

Aglaonema 'Crete' is a red-edged Chinese evergreen with green leaf centres, pink-red margins and flushed petioles. The colour follows the edge, midrib and stem line, creating a clear red-green outline from the centre of the crown outward.

This cultivar grows as a compact upright clump from a short base. The leaves sit close together at first, then angle outward as the petioles lengthen, giving even a smaller plant a defined crown and visible colour from several sides.

Aglaonema 'Crete' red-margin traits

  • Green leaf centres framed by red to pink leaf margins
  • Flushed petioles that keep colour visible from the side
  • Compact upright crown with a self-heading growth habit
  • Glossy oval to elliptic leaves with a slightly leathery feel

Crown growth, red margins and petioles

Aglaonema 'Crete' carries red-pink colour along the margins and petioles. Young leaves open from the centre with softer colour, then flatten and firm as the blade matures. Older leaves can deepen along the edge while the green centre remains the main surface area of the blade.

The wider Aglaonema genus is associated with warm, shaded tropical habitats across Asia and New Guinea. In indoor cultivation, those forest conditions call for stable warmth, filtered light and a substrate that holds moisture while allowing oxygen around the roots. The compact crown of Aglaonema 'Crete' makes airflow around the base important, especially in cooler months.

Care points for Aglaonema 'Crete'

  • Light: Give medium to bright indirect light. A sheer curtain or position away from direct midday rays protects the glossy surface.
  • Watering: Water when the upper 40–60% of the potting mix has dried. Keep the root zone lightly moist during active growth and let it dry further in winter.
  • Substrate: Use a balanced, aerated houseplant mix with fine bark, coir or peat-free fibre, and mineral drainage.
  • Drainage: A free-draining nursery pot is important because the compact basal crown needs air around the root zone.
  • Temperature: Aim for 18–24 °C indoors. Keep away from cold glass, unheated rooms and winter draughts.
  • Humidity: Normal household humidity is usually suitable. Grouping plants or using a humidifier can reduce stuck or crisp new growth in dry rooms.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly in spring and summer. Use a diluted balanced fertiliser and flush the pot occasionally to reduce salt build-up.
  • Pot choice: Keep the pot close to root size. A compact Aglaonema in a deep oversized pot stays wet for too long at the base.
  • Repotting: Repot when roots circle the pot or the mix compacts. Keep the crown at the same depth after repotting.
  • Pruning: Remove spent lower leaves cleanly at the base. This keeps the upright crown tidy and reduces hidden damp leaf material.
  • Outdoor summer placement: Move outside only in warm, sheltered shade once nights stay above 16 °C. Bring back indoors before cool nights return.
  • Propagation: Divide only mature clumps with separate rooted shoots. Fresh divisions need warmth and even moisture while roots re-establish.

Aglaonema 'Crete' leaf and crown signals

  • Yellow base leaves: Check the bottom of the pot and the crown base. Several fading lower leaves can indicate wet mix or a cool root zone.
  • Brown patches on leaves: Check for direct sun, cold exposure or water sitting on leaves in a cool room.
  • Soft petioles: Check root firmness and reduce watering until the mix breathes again. Firm petioles hold the leaf edge clearly.
  • Dry leaf edges: Check watering gaps, fertiliser strength and warm airflow. Red margins show edge stress quickly.
  • Uneven crown: Rotate the pot every few weeks so new leaves develop evenly around the centre.

Bought in multiple colors! Fantastic material
Size: X-Large, Color: Light Green, Size: X-Large, Color: Light Green
I ordered this button-up for an upcoming beach vacation, and I’m honestly so impressed with the quality and feel of it. Right out of the package, the material felt soft, breathable, and exactly what you want when you know you’ll be spending long hours in the sun and heat. It’s incredibly lightweight without feeling cheap or flimsy, which was one of my biggest concerns when ordering. What I really love is how well it helps keep you cool. The fabric allows for great airflow, so you don’t feel like you’re overheating or sweating through it like you might with heavier shirts. Even just trying it on, I could tell it’s going to be perfect for hot, humid weather. The fit is also spot-on—not too tight, not too baggy—giving it a clean, relaxed look that works great for both casual outings and slightly nicer dinners by the beach. Overall, this shirt checks all the boxes: comfortable, breathable, stylish, and ideal for vacation wear. Already grabbing a few more colors

Slim but comfortable sizing looks upscale, wrinkle free from the dryer
Size: Medium, Color: Denim Blue
This is a very nice upscale looking shirt. It has great styling that is not over-sized. My husband normally wears a medium or large depending on the cut/style. He got a medium in this size and it is a perfect, comfortable fit. It arrived with some creases in the material from being folded in the packaging but it came out beautifully from the dryer. I'm happy he has a casual but nice shirt to wear when he takes me out to dinner!

A true vacation find!
Size: Medium, Color: Light Green
Really nice choice. Got it for my husband and he really liked the style. I loved how it fit on him and the lightness of the fabric. Great for hot, sunny weathered days, or warm nights. A true vacation find. Both comfy and stylish. He would have preferred it be 100% cotton, but I think he didn't really mind after steaming it. He commented on the color too. A beautiful sage green!

Perfect "To Go" Untuck Shirt for all summer events!
Size: XX-Large, Color: White-all White
LOVE LOVE LOVE this shirt! Great quality. The material is soft and just thick enough to not be see-through but cool for our Southern summers or tropical locations. The only thing I would say is depending on your arm to shoulder size, you may want to go up a size. I originally bought an xl for my husband, but it was a little snug at arm hole area, so we exchanged it for a xxl (it is designed so you do not have to tuck it in so the xxl fit and looks great.) I reordered in the blue also. Excellent for weddings, dinner, outings etc.. definitely recommend!
