Q: How do I care for pink houseplants?

{"type":"root","children":[{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Pink houseplants generally need brighter light than all-green varieties to maintain their colour. Place in bright indirect light and avoid dark corners, where pink tones will fade. Water when the top 2 to 3 cm of compost feels dry."}]},{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Feed every two to four weeks with a balanced liquid fertiliser during spring and summer. Avoid direct harsh sun, which can scorch delicate pink foliage. Humidity helps, particularly for Caladium and Calathea varieties."}]}]}

Q: Do pink plants need more light than green plants?

{"type":"root","children":[{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Generally, yes. The pink colour in leaves comes from pigments that replace some of the green chlorophyll. With less chlorophyll, the plant has reduced capacity to photosynthesise, so it needs brighter light to compensate. Bright indirect light is ideal for most pink houseplants."}]},{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"In lower light, many pink plants will gradually produce more green in their new leaves as the plant tries to maximise photosynthesis. "},{"type":"link","url":"/collections/aglaonema","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Aglaonema"}]},{"type":"text","value":" are the most tolerant of lower light among pink species."}]}]}

Most Aglaonema contain calcium oxalate crystals and are mildly toxic if chewed."}]},{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Always check individual product pages for specific pet safety information. If you have curious pets, stick to Calathea for your pink plant fix, or keep other species on high shelves out of reach."}]}]}

Q: Why is my pink plant losing its colour?

{"type":"root","children":[{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"The most common reason for a pink plant reverting to green is insufficient light. When a plant cannot photosynthesise enough with its pink (chlorophyll-poor) leaves, it compensates by producing more chlorophyll, turning new growth greener."}]},{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Move the plant to a brighter spot with good indirect light. Avoid direct sun, which scorches rather than helps. Consistent bright conditions should encourage the plant to produce colourful new growth again. Patience is key, as existing green leaves will not turn pink."}]}]}
