Aglaonema 'Light Pink Star'
Description
A pink twist on the classic Chinese evergreen. The unusual, bright pink stems of this plant and the pink and green strokes on the leaves make this aglaonema an absolute eye catcher which will add a splash of colour to any room.
Size: 12cm diameter x 40cm height
Origin: Tropical and subtropical regions of Asia and New Guinea
Care
Light: Indirect light / medium light
Humidity: Moderate
Temperature: 16-25ºC
Watering: Allow the top 2-3cm of the compost to dry between waterings when the plant is actively growing, usually from spring through autumn. Reduce watering frequency in winter, if light levels are lower.
Feeding: Use half the recommended dose of a balanced liquid fertilizer every 6-8 from spring through autumn, or whenever you can see active growth.
Soil: Equal parts of soil-based compost, perlite and bark or coco fiber.
Troubleshooting: Aglaonemas can live in medium light conditions, however as tropical plants they are very susceptible to cold temperatures and overwatering. Yellowing, droopy leaves may be a sign of too much water, while dark patches on the leaves could be chilling injuries.
Tip: This plant can be toxic if ingested, so we advise to keep it away from pets and children. Direct sunlight can leave sunburn marks on the leaves, so it is best to keep it away from direct sun.
Did you know?: Aglaonemas are evergreen perennial plants and have been cherished and grown in Asia as 'good luck plants' for centuries, which may have been the reason why they are commonly known as Chinese evergreens.
