Aglaonema 'Pink Emerald'

Aglaonema ‘Pink Emerald’ stands out because of its foliage—a compelling mix of soft pink tones and emerald‑green splashes on glossy leaves. The coloration gives it a collector’s appeal, rather than just being another green houseplant. The contrast between the pink and green variegation invites you to place it in spots where the hues can show up—maybe near a light background or on a shelf where the leaves catch a bit of ambient glow.

Basic Care of Aglaonema ‘Pink Emerald’

• Light: Give it bright gentle light. While it can tolerate lower‑light conditions, the pink variegation will fade or dull if kept too far from well‑lit spaces. Avoid direct afternoon sun to prevent leaf burn.
  

• Watering: Let the top few centimeters of soil dry out before watering again. Aglaonemas appreciate a somewhat relaxed watering routine—avoid sitting the plant in soggy conditions.
  

• Soil & Potting: Use a well‑draining, airy mix with components like perlite or coarse bark blended into general potting soil. Choose a pot with ample drainage.

• Humidity & Temperature: Typical indoor humidity is fine, but if the air is very dry (especially in winter) a little extra humidity helps keep the leaf edges crisp. Optimal temperature range is roughly 65‑80°F; avoid drafts or cold zones under 60°F.
   

• Fertilizing: During the growing season (spring and summer), feed lightly every month or so with a balanced houseplant fertilizer. In fall and winter reduce feeding as growth slows.

• Maintenance Tips: Remove any yellowing leaves gently; dust the foliage now and then to ensure the leaves can photosynthesize effectively. If you notice the pink tones fading, check the lighting and adjust accordingly.

Why collectors love it

‘Pink Emerald’ delivers two qualities that make it appealing for an indoor‑plant collection:

1. Visual impact — its variegated pattern of pink and green gives it flair in a mixed collection, particularly when paired with more monochrome plants.

2. Manageable size — unlike large tropical foliage plants, it remains suitably sized for shelves, tabletops, or smaller spaces, making it a versatile addition.
