Pink Aglaonema Introduction
After receiving my first Pink Aglaonema AKA Chinese Evergreen from a friend a couple of weeks ago, it was time to check out her roots and add a little more soil! She’s been adjusting nicely to her new home. She’s been growing since I received her, and she’s definitely keeping up her pink tones. Let’s see what information I can dig up to share.
Back Story
I received my Aglaonema from a friend I met years ago playing The Elder Scrolls Online (see my ESO blog post here https://neighborsatheart.com/index.php/2023/08/12/the-elder-scrolls-online-eso/). I only recently met this friend in person after moving to Virginia in April of 2023. He gifted me this Evergreen, and I gifted him an Ice Priness Philodendron. Both plant babies are thriving in their new households. I originally thought it was a Pink Philodendron Princess, however after seeing my new plant for a little longer I discovered that it was in fact a Chinese Evergreen.
The Re-Potting
You can see in the background of the photo I removed her from a plastic cage-like structure. This is the container she was started in at the nursery. Removing the basket prevents any roots from having their circulation cut off. She’s now in a plastic cup with small drainage holes in the bottom. I use Miracle Grow Potting Soil for my houseplants, take a look for it on http://amazon.com or at your local plant store. Occassionally, I use additional natural fertilizers such as coffee grounds, egg shells, or banana water rather than a commercial fertilizer.
Aglaonema Care
I allow my Aglaonema to dry out a little between waterings, and I keep her in a very bright room, with only indirect light. The south facing windows in my rental home allow for all of my plants to have bright indirect light for most of the day. We’ll see how the plant’s looks change once I move into my new house. Most likely, I expect the leaves to revert to being more green than pink. They are a beginner friendly houseplant and are good air purifiers.
Personal Notes
This is my first Pink Aglaonema (Chinese Evergreen) and I think I’ll have good luck with her. I’ll be sure to post a growth update at the end of the summer!
