What does the legal guarantee mean for plants?
The legal guarantee concerns the plant’s conformity at delivery. It is not a guarantee of survival or growth for two years. Each issue is assessed taking into account the nature of the plant, its care and the conditions in which it is kept. Your statutory rights remain unaffected.
Aglaonema ‘Flamingo’
- Pink with green edges
- Upright foliage
- Indirect light
- Warm indoor position
- Variegated selection
Aglaonema ‘Flamingo’ puts pink centre stage, with broad, pointed leaves opening around the heart of the plant. Soft pink surfaces meet fine green margins and small green markings, while the veins give each leaf a subtly textured appearance.
The upright arrangement displays the colour from several angles and creates a full, clearly defined silhouette. Beside plain green plants it becomes the colour focus of the group; on its own, in a simple cover pot, it resembles a small botanical bouquet shaped entirely by foliage.
What makes it special
Colour, outline and leaf arrangement offer three distinct points of interest.
Green details
Green margins define the outline and help each leaf stand out within the plant.
New leaves at the centre
Young leaves unfurl between the older ones, adding fresh angles to the foliage.
Why you will love it: it brings strong colour through foliage alone and sits beautifully among green plants.
In your space Placement & plant pairings Where to place it and how to combine it
Where it looks its best
On a side table or desk near a bright window with diffused light, away from strong direct sunshine. A white, grey or deep green cover pot lets the pink surfaces stand out.
Plants to pair it with
Choose green foliage with contrasting shapes, keeping each plant in its own pot so watering can be adjusted separately.
- Epipremnum aureum — trailing growth frames the upright silhouette.
- Peperomia obtusifolia — rounder green leaves provide a shape contrast; allow its own mix to dry more between waterings.
- Asplenium nidus — long, wavy leaves for a warm position with indirect light and closer attention to humidity.
Care at a glance
Light
A bright position with indirect light. Strong direct sunshine can scorch the pale leaf surfaces.
Watering
Once the surface of the mix dries, water evenly and drain thoroughly. Avoid constantly saturated roots.
Atmosphere
A warm room without cold draughts or direct airflow from heating or air conditioning.
Pets
Not safe to chew. Contains irritating calcium oxalate crystals; keep away from children and pets.

Growing medium & nutrition
Detailed care Complete care guide Light, water, climate, growing medium and feeding
Light and position
Provide plenty of filtered light, using a curtain where sunshine is strong. The genus tolerating shade does not make a very dark corner ideal for this pale-leaved selection.
Correct watering
Check the top 2–3 cm of mix with your finger and water when it has dried. Let water escape through the drainage holes and empty the cover pot. Do not leave the entire root ball dry for long periods.
Humidity and ventilation
It prefers more humid air but can adapt to an ordinary indoor room. Keep foliage away from hot or cold air currents. Gently wipe dust off with a damp cloth without leaving water pooled at the centre.
Temperature
Keep it in a consistently warm room, around 18–24°C. Protect it from cold glazing and sudden temperature drops. Winter usually calls for less frequent watering as water use slows.
Growing medium
An airy aroid mix with good drainage holds available moisture without compacting around the roots. Use a pot with drainage holes and avoid a large jump in pot size when repotting.
Feeding and repotting
During active growth, use a complete liquid foliage-plant fertiliser at the label’s gentle rate. Adjust frequency to light and growth, and pause when the plant is not growing. Account for any nutrients already included in a fresh pre-fertilised mix instead of adding feed immediately. Move up one pot size when roots fill the existing pot.
Botanical identity Identity & natural origin Genus, cultivated selection and wild relatives
Genus and family
Aglaonema ‘Flamingo’ is a cultivated selection of the genus Aglaonema, in the family Araceae.
The ‘Flamingo’ selection
The name ‘Flamingo’ accompanies its distinctive pink foliage. Its exact parentage and breeder are not known.
Wild relatives
Species of the genus come from tropical and subtropical Asia through to New Guinea. This is the origin of its wild relatives, not a breeding location for ‘Flamingo’.
Greenleaf for Plant Nerds Science nobody asked for A closer look at anatomy and physiology
Spadix and spathe
In Aglaonema, the inflorescence consists of small flowers arranged on a fleshy axis called a spadix, surrounded by a modified leaf called a spathe.
Crystals within the tissues
Calcium oxalate occurs as insoluble crystals in the plant tissues. Chewing releases them and causes pronounced local irritation.
Distinct leaf veins
A central vein and lateral veins support the blade and transport water and products of photosynthesis. Their curved paths show clearly against the pale surfaces.
Each new leaf, a new stage
A leaf begins folded and opens as it develops. A very young leaf may look different from a fully expanded one, so assess colour across the whole plant.
Frequently asked questions
Practical answers about the pink foliage and caring for it indoors.
01 Why does the intensity of the pink change?
Leaf age, lighting and natural variation affect its appearance. Provide steady, bright indirect light and avoid suddenly moving it into direct sun in an attempt to intensify the colour.
02 Can it live in a dark room?
Choose a bright position without strong direct sunshine. Prolonged low light limits growth and slows the drying of the mix.
03 Why is a leaf turning yellow?
An older lower leaf may be ageing naturally. If several yellow together, check moisture, drainage, cold and possible pests before changing care.
04 Does it need daily misting?
No. Misting does not provide steady air humidity. Avoid draughts and, in a very dry room, favour controlled humidity with good ventilation.
05 Does it flower?
It may produce the characteristic inflorescences of the genus, although its main ornamental appeal is its pink foliage. Flowering is not guaranteed at the size sold.
06 Is it safe for cats and dogs?
It is not safe to chew or swallow. Keep it out of reach and seek veterinary advice if a pet chews any part of the plant.
