Pink Chinese Evergreen (Aglaonema)

Chinese evergreens are slow-growing and make excellent indoor foliage plants that can be potted and cared for year-round. They have large, narrow, and glossy oval leaves on short stems, and flowers (on older plants) that bloom in spring or summer. The Chinese evergreen is one of the most popular houseplants and its gorgeous pink color will add personality to your home's decor.

The Chinese evergreen plant thrives in moist but not water-logged soil. To achieve this balance, water your plant thoroughly, then allow it to dry out before watering again.

This variety of Chinese Evergreen requires bright light. Take care not to expose it to direct sunlight, as the harsh rays can easily burn the delicate leaves.

Chinese Evergreens are highly toxic to pets and humans. Ingestion will cause mouth and stomach irritation and possible vomiting. In some cases, may even cause swelling of the upper airway. Keep away from children and pets.

BURNT LEAVES: Direct sunlight can cause leaf scorch. Remove burned leaves and move the plant to a bright area that is not in direct sunlight.
Temperature changes: The plant prefers warm, draft-free spots.

UNDERWATERING: Overly dry soil will affect the leaves. Slowly water the plant so the leaves can recover. Remove dry, crisp leaves.

OVERWATERING: These plants prefer drier to overly moist soil. Let the top inch of soil dry out before watering to prevent root rot. If the pot is larger (around 10 to 12 inches in diameter), let more of the soil dry out—about halfway down.
