I know that this is typically a very tolerant plant as it goes for lighting, but I'm wondering if the red version needs more light than say a normal green one?

I have a very dark living room due to the positioning of the windows--western exposure. However, because of our demonic, plant-munching cats, I can't actually put a plant IN the window, but rather 5 feet away from it on a near by table.

Will this beautiful plant be able to make it in these conditions? Will it lose it's red? I would love to have a plant on two in this room. :/

Aren't red Ag's beautiful? I certainly understand why it ended up in your cart.

Do you have a picture?

I have a few red/pink Aglaonemas..They require bright, 'no direct, south or west 'summer,'' sun.
Too much sun, colors fade..not enough, colors fade.

During winter, red Ags should be placed in the brightest light...otherwise, once again, color fades.

They're humidity-lovers, so place on stones, spray/mist daily, and shower foliage once a week. If possible, invest in a humidifer.

During gray, winter months, soil needs to dry somewhat between waterings. Never, despite time of year, keep soil muddy. They will rot..been there, done that.

Is your Ag, red or pink? I'd really like to see a photo.
Do you know its variety?

Ag's will live in shade, but reds/pinks/orange lose color to a degree. Depending on amount of shade.
At night, artifical lights helps, a LOT!

Good luck, Toni

PS...try not to over-pot.

The leaf tips are definitely a bright, deep red(though it's difficult to see in the dark picture), while the center of the leaves is green. The leaf stems are a pink color.

I moved it into a room with more light. Want to keep it pretty!

I have mine in a north window supplemented by a fluorescent lamp in the evenings. I hope this is sufficient to keep it lovely.
