Aglaonema Ruby is a Chinese evergreen with lance-shaped leaves splashed in red, pink, and green, giving you rich color with none of the fuss of a flowering plant. It grows as a full, bushy clump that suits tabletops and low, bright corners.

Bright, indirect light keeps the red tones vivid, though it tolerates dimmer spots gracefully. Let the top inch or two of soil dry between waterings, and keep it out of cold drafts, since aglaonemas prefer real warmth. One of the easiest colorful houseplants going.
