Aglaonema 'Pink Star'

Aglaonema 'Pink Star' has broad pink leaf areas framed by green margins and darker green venation. The green edge and veins remain visible across the pink blade.

Short basal stems carry the broad leaves close together and form a rounded clump. New foliage rises from the centre, so the plant gains density through layered leaves rather than long stem extension.

Broad pink foliage on Aglaonema 'Pink Star'

• Leaf colour: Pink leaf surfaces with green framing.
• Venation: Darker green veins remain visible across the pink blade.
• Leaf shape: Broad oval leaves, sometimes with a softly rounded base.
• Growth habit: Bushy upright clump with leaves held on short petioles.
• Pattern behaviour: Pink coverage and green edging can vary between individual leaves.
• Container shape: Short basal stems keep the leaves grouped in a medium pot.

Aglaonema 'Pink Star' growth and leaf layering

Aglaonema 'Pink Star' develops from several short stems at the base. Older leaves sit lower as fresh leaves open from the centre, gradually building a broad, rounded plant.

Pink tissue can mark in harsh sun or very dry air. Filtered light reduces scorch risk, and letting the upper substrate dry before watering helps prevent cold, wet roots.

Aglaonema 'Pink Star' care

• Light: Bright indirect light keeps new leaves close to the clump. Direct sun can burn the pink leaf surface.
• Water: Water thoroughly once the upper substrate has started to dry, then empty any standing water from the cover pot or saucer.
• Substrate: Choose a fine but airy aroid or houseplant mix that drains freely after watering.
• Temperature: Keep warm year-round. Cold wet substrate can damage roots and mark the lower leaves.
• Humidity: Normal indoor humidity is usually fine, though very dry air can brown the edges of broad leaves.
• Feeding: Feed lightly while the plant is producing new leaves; reduce feeding when growth slows.
• Repotting: Move up only one pot size when the root ball is full, because oversized pots stay wet for longer.

Common problems with Aglaonema 'Pink Star'

• Bleached or crispy leaves: Move the plant away from direct sun.
• Yellow lower leaves: Check the roots and substrate moisture before watering again.
• Drooping after watering: Heavy, oxygen-poor mix can leave roots stressed even when the pot feels wet.
• Brown tips: Irregular watering, fertiliser salts or dry air are common triggers.
• Pests: Check leaf undersides and petiole bases for mealybugs, scale, aphids or spider mites if new leaves distort, yellow or feel sticky.
• Slow new growth: Low light, cool temperatures or an exhausted substrate can reduce leaf production.

Aglaonema 'Pink Star' safety

Aglaonema 'Pink Star' contains calcium oxalate crystals. Keep it away from pets and children that may chew leaves or stems, and wash hands after handling cut or damaged tissue if your skin is sensitive.

Aglaonema 'Pink Star' genus background

Aglaonema sits within Araceae and the genus occurs naturally from north-east India to Papua New Guinea. 'Pink Star' is a cultivated Aglaonema selection with broad pink foliage and green venation. Aglaonema comes from Greek aglaos, meaning bright or clear, and nema, meaning thread, a reference to the stamens.
