Aglaonema Pink Lady Valentine Chinese Evergreen Hybrid

The Aglaonema ‘Pink Valentine’ is one of the most striking pink-foliage houseplants you can keep indoors. Its broad leaves are splashed in deep rose-pink and rich green — the pink is structural, not just a tint, and it holds its color even in lower light conditions where most pink plants fade to green. It’s also one of the most forgiving plants in the Aglaonema family: tolerates low light, irregular watering, and average humidity without complaint.

Toxicity note: Toxic to cats, dogs, and humans if ingested. Keep out of reach of pets and children.

What Makes This Plant Special

• Vivid, stable pink coloration: Deep rose-pink variegation that holds color better in lower light than most pink plants.
• True low-light performer: One of the few genuinely pink plants that doesn’t require bright light to maintain its color.
• Compact and tidy: Bushy, upright growth to 1–2 feet — fits desks, shelves, and small spaces well.
• Beginner-friendly: Tolerates imperfect conditions, irregular watering, and dry air.

Care Guide

• Light: Moderate to bright indirect light preferred. Tolerates lower light better than most pink plants — the pink coloration is more stable than variegated varieties that rely on chlorophyll reduction. Avoid direct sun which can scorch the leaves.
• Water: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy. Allow the top inch to dry between waterings. More forgiving of underwatering than overwatering — yellowing lower leaves usually signal too much water.
• Soil: Well-draining potting mix. Standard indoor potting soil with added perlite works well.
• Humidity: Tolerates average household humidity. No misting required, though it appreciates higher humidity.
• Temperature: 65–80°F. Keep away from cold drafts and AC vents.
• Fertilizer: Monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Skip in fall and winter.
• Pruning: Remove yellow or dead leaves at the base. Minimal pruning needed.
• Propagation: Stem cuttings or division at repotting.
• Pests: Watch for spider mites, mealybugs, and aphids. Generally resilient.

Troubleshooting

• Yellow leaves: Almost always overwatering. Let soil dry more between waterings.
• Brown leaf tips: Low humidity or fluoride in tap water. Try filtered water.
• Fading pink color: Needs more light. Move to a brighter spot with indirect light.
• Drooping leaves: Underwatering or cold stress. Check soil and move away from drafts.
