Aglaonema 'Pink Princess'

Aglaonema 'Pink Princess' is a pink-leaved Chinese evergreen with a compact, leafy crown and broad oval leaves on fleshy petioles. It grows from short stems at the base, sending up new leaves that gradually fill the plant from the centre outward.

The leaf colour ranges from soft pink to deeper rose-pink, with green edging, scattered green flecks and lighter vein detail. Large pink leaf areas and a compact crown define the plant.

Aglaonema 'Pink Princess' pink foliage

• Pink Aglaonema cultivar with a rounded indoor crown
• Broad oval to lance-shaped leaves with green margins
• Rose-pink blades with scattered green markings
• Short-stemmed evergreen growth from a rhizomatous base
• Pink-leaved foliage plant for warm rooms with filtered light

Pink leaves, crown growth and flowering

Aglaonema 'Pink Princess' is a cultivated Chinese evergreen in the Araceae family. Like other Aglaonema, it produces long-stalked leaves from short stems and can form several growing points as the plant matures.

Aglaonema species are native from north-eastern India through tropical Asia to Papua New Guinea. Indoors, Aglaonema 'Pink Princess' needs stable warmth, filtered light away from direct afternoon sun and watering that leaves the root ball lightly moist but not wet for days.

The name Aglaonema comes from Greek roots meaning bright or clear and thread, referring to the stamens.

Small spathe-and-spadix flowers may appear on mature plants. The leaves carry the colour, and flower stalks can be cut at the base when they appear on smaller plants.

Aglaonema 'Pink Princess' care routine

• Light: Place Aglaonema 'Pink Princess' in bright filtered light. Direct afternoon sun can leave dry brown patches on the pink tissue.
• Water: Water once the top 2–4 cm has dried. Keep the watering pattern even, as repeated full drying can crisp the softer pink tissue.
• Substrate: Use an airy houseplant mix with coco fibre, fine bark, perlite and a small amount of moisture-holding organic matter.
• Pot choice: Use a drainage pot and a snug root volume. Oversized containers hold too much moisture around slow-growing roots.
• Temperature: Keep at 18–28 °C. Warm, stable conditions reduce stalled, curled or misshapen new leaves after shipping or repotting.
• Humidity: Moderate humidity reduces edge dryness on new leaves. A humidifier raises humidity during dry heated periods.
• Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth. Use diluted fertiliser and pause when growth slows.
• Repotting: Repot only when the root ball is well filled. Keep the crown at the same planting depth.
• Cleaning: Wipe leaves with a soft damp cloth. Avoid leaf shine products on colourful Aglaonema foliage.
• Propagation: Divide mature plants with several rooted crowns and keep divisions warm with evenly light moisture.

Pink tissue, roots and new leaves

• Brown areas on pink tissue: Check for harsh sun, cold water, cold glass contact or a root ball that dried too far.
• Limp leaves after watering: Inspect the roots before watering again. Damaged roots can leave the plant wilted in wet substrate.
• Yellow lower leaves: Check whether several leaves are yellowing together; that pattern often points to excess moisture around the roots.
• Small new growth: Move slightly closer to filtered light and check whether the plant has outgrown its pot.
• Distorted young leaves: Inspect tightly rolled new growth for thrips, mites or mealybugs.

Safe placement for Aglaonema 'Pink Princess'

Aglaonema 'Pink Princess' contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals, which can irritate the mouth and throat if the plant is eaten. Keep it out of reach of pets and children, and wash off sap after pruning or division if your skin is sensitive.

Bright filtered light gives the rose-pink leaves enough light while keeping the softer pink tissue away from scorch.
