Aglaonema Yanhuo
Aglaonema 'Yanhuo' is a striking tropical hybrid from the Araceae family, whose name means "fireworks" in Chinese — a fitting tribute to its spectacular, flame-like foliage. A cultivar of the Chinese Evergreen, 'Yanhuo' features broad, glossy leaves with vivid splashes of red, orange, and pink radiating from the midrib against deep green margins, creating a dazzling, multi-toned display. As adaptable and easy to care for as all Chinese Evergreens, it brings an extraordinary burst of tropical color to any interior space.
Care Guide
-
Light: Bright, indirect light preferred; tolerates lower light but develops the most vivid color in brighter conditions — avoid direct sun which can scorch the leaves
-
Temperature: Intermediate to warm; ideal temperatures 18–28°C (65–82°F); protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 15°C (59°F)
-
Watering: Allow the top inch of soil to dry between waterings; water thoroughly then allow to drain well; avoid waterlogging which can cause root rot
-
Humidity: Moderate to high humidity, ideally 50–70%; tolerates average indoor humidity but thrives with added moisture from a humidifier or pebble tray
-
Substrate: Well-draining, rich potting mix with good aeration; a blend of peat or coco coir with perlite works well
Aglaonema 'Yanhuo' is a true showpiece — its firework-like foliage in red, orange, and pink tones is among the most dramatic in the Chinese Evergreen family, yet it remains as easy and forgiving as any Aglaonema. A spectacular new arrival from Ecuagenera, grown with care in Ecuador.
