Plant Features

The Aglaonema 'Pink' is a charming and attractive houseplant, part of the Aglaonema genus, which is known for its ease of care and beautiful foliage. The 'Pink' variety stands out with its vibrant pink and green variegated leaves, making it a popular choice for adding a splash of color to indoor spaces. It's a relatively low-maintenance plant, making it a great option for beginners or those looking to add to their collection of houseplants.

In terms of troubleshooting, the Aglaonema 'Pink' can face a few common issues. Yellowing leaves may indicate overwatering or poor drainage, while brown tips or edges could be a sign of low humidity or fluoride in water. If the leaves lose their variegation, this could be due to insufficient light. Conversely, direct sunlight can scorch the leaves. Regularly check for pests such as aphids or spider mites, and treat them promptly if detected.
