Aglaonema 'Pink Star' is a striking and rarer variety of Aglaonema, commonly known as 'Chinese Evergreen'. It features less pointy, more heart-shaped pink leaves with dark green contrasting venation and edging. This tropical beauty retains its vibrant pink foliage even under medium light levels, making it an easy-care and hardy plant suitable for various indoor environments.
Native to: Aglaonema 'Pink Star' is native to the tropical regions of Southeast Asia and New Guinea. It thrives in the warm, humid conditions found in countries like Thailand and Indonesia.
Water: Water your Aglaonema 'Pink Star' little and often, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top layer of soil to dry slightly between waterings. Consistent moisture is important, but ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Light: This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. An ideal position is south or east-facing, where it can receive ample light without direct sun exposure, which can scorch its leaves. It can tolerate medium light levels, maintaining its pink foliage even in less optimal lighting.
Humidity: While Aglaonema 'Pink Star' will grow well outside of a terrarium or cabinet, it thrives with higher humidity levels. Aim for humidity levels above 60%. To achieve this, consider grouping plants together, using a humidifier, or placing the plant in a bathroom or kitchen where humidity is naturally higher.
Temperature: Maintain a warm environment with temperatures between 18°C to 26°C. Avoid exposing the plant to cold drafts and temperatures below 15°C. The stable, warm conditions typical of its native tropical habitat are ideal for this plant's growth.
