Aglaonema ‘Sun Star’

This Aglaonema Sun Star is a striking, lush foliage plant. It is also known as a Chinese Evergreen because it is a highly ornamental and popular plant in China. This compact plant will truly brighten up any space as well as help remove any toxins in the air. Keep away from draughts and water sparingly in winter.

Well you really can’t miss this one! These striking pink leaves – almost pink grapefruit colour – are perfectly formed, with mottled green around the edges. If you want a bit of striking colour that also delivers elegance, the Aglaonema sun star is a great choice.

Aglaonema thrive in most light levels. The lighter the leaf colour, the more light required. Plain, dark green varieties prefer near-shade, whereas the lighter, variegated types need well-lit conditions. Avoid direct sunlight.

The Aglaonema soil should be kept moist at all times. Do not allow it to dry-out. Make sure not to overwater as this may encourage root rot. Moderation is the key.

Chinese Evergreens can tolerate lower humidity than some other plants, yet it will still appreciate your efforts to improve surrounding humidity levels, either via regular misting or using a pebble tray.

Slow release fertiliser once a month during the growing season.
