Aglaonema 'Garnet Coltrane' is an attractive pink and green leaved, evergreen perennial cultivar from the aroid family, Araceae. The species it was bred from originates from tropical and subtropical climates in Asia and New Guinea.
This tender plant is adapted to low light conditions, making it a good choice for growing as a houseplant. It won't cope with freezing temperatures, bright indirect light is best and moist, well-draining soil. It produces beautiful variegated foliage splattered in shades of cream, pink, red and green, borne on pink stems. The variegation will be more pronounced when grown in stronger lighting, but take care with strong sunlight as this can damage the leaves. Flowers can appear, but this is uncommon, particularly when grown indoors as a houseplant. They are green-white in colour and similar to those of Peace Lilies.
