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. Generous pink leaf surfaces and a compact crown define the plant.

Aglaonema 'Pink Princess' rose-leaf traits

• 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
• Colour-focused foliage plant for warm, bright indoor rooms

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.

The genus occurs naturally across warm forest regions from north-eastern India to Papua New Guinea. In indoor cultivation, Aglaonema 'Pink Princess' grows evenly with stable warmth, gentle light and careful watering that keeps roots supplied with both moisture and air.

Small spathe-and-spadix flowers may appear on mature plants. The foliage carries the visible pattern, and flower stalks can be cut at the base when they appear on smaller plants.

Aglaonema 'Pink Princess' care points

• Light: Place in bright filtered light. The large pink leaf areas appreciate brightness, while direct afternoon sun can leave dry patches.
• 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 rooms help the pink leaves expand cleanly after shipping or repotting.
• Humidity: Moderate humidity reduces edge dryness on new leaves. A humidifier raises humidity during winter heating.
• Feeding: Feed lightly in spring and summer. Use diluted fertiliser and pause when growth slows in the darker months.
• Repotting: Repot in spring 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 and root checks

• 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.
