Aglaonema Pink Moon
📖 About this plant
Aglaonema Pink Moon is a spectacular variety bred specifically for its intense, saturated pink coloration. The lance-shaped leaves display large, vivid hot-pink patches and speckling against a green background, with the pink petioles and midribs adding to the overall colorful effect. The pink is more vibrant and saturated than that of Red Valentine or Siam Aurora, living up to its celestial name with an otherworldly, luminous quality. New leaves emerge with even more intense pink coloration that gradually matures to the characteristic pattern. This variety is a showstopper that commands attention wherever it’s placed, making it perfect as a statement plant in living rooms, offices, and plant displays.

💡 Care tips
- This variety demands bright indirect light to maintain its intense pink coloration — it's one of the most light-dependent colored Aglaonemas. Avoid direct sunlight which can wash out the pink to white. Higher humidity (60%+) promotes the most vivid pink saturation. Use filtered water to prevent tip burn on the pink leaf areas. Fertilize regularly during growing season for the most intense colors. Remove any reverted all-green stems to maintain the pink display.
