Light: Aglaonema Red Star prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some lower light conditions, but its growth may be slower and its leaves may become less vibrant. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves.
Water: Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Aglaonema Red Star likes to be evenly moist but not waterlogged, so make sure not to overwater. Water less frequently in the winter.

Soil: Aglaonema Red Star prefers a well-draining potting mix that is rich in organic matter. You can use a mixture of peat moss, perlite, and vermiculite.
Fertilizer: Fertilize the plant every two weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer. In the winter, fertilize less frequently.
Pruning: Prune the plant to maintain its shape and remove any yellowing or damaged leaves.
Propagation: Aglaonema Red Star can be propagated by division. Simply remove the plant from its pot, separate the roots, and replant in separate containers.
Pests and Diseases: Aglaonema Red Star is relatively pest-free, but watch out for spider mites and mealybugs. Overwatering can cause root rot.
