Aglaonema ‘Valentine’

Romantic in palette, practical everywhere else

Family: Araceae · Pot diameter: 12 cm · Height: 40 cm

Araceae
Pink foliage
Bright indirect light
Moderate watering
Dense growth

Aglaonema ‘Valentine’ fills its blades with warm pink zones while retaining green strokes along the margins and around the veins. Colour is never flat: every leaf balances pink, cream and green in a slightly different way.

An upright dense clump gives clear presence without spreading untidily. It carries enough colour to work as a statement, yet its stable outline slips easily into an everyday room.

What makes it distinctive

‘Valentine’ combines warm chromatic intensity with the calm, practical silhouette associated with cultivated Aglaonema.

Pink that never repeats exactly

Pigment distribution varies from blade to blade, creating natural variety inside a single clump.

A green frame

Darker margins keep each blade visually crisp and add depth around the bright centre.

Height with a full base

Upright petioles lift the colour while younger leaves fill the base and maintain a compact appearance.

Why you will love it: it brings colour confidently without fragile, unpredictable behaviour, provided cold and overwatering are kept out of the equation.

In your space Placement & plant pairings Where it looks its best and which plants complement it

In your space

Where it looks its best

Place it on a desk, side table or low stand in bright indirect light. Deep green, pale pink, terracotta or warm beige planters give the colour breathing room without making it sugary.

Plant pairings

Plants that set it off

Clean green or silver-green companions share its indirect-light needs and let pink remain the only warm note.

Zamioculcas zamiifolia — glossy dark green and a disciplined line make a stable background.
Scindapsus pictus — silver marks and trailing movement cool the palette.
Asplenium antiquum — wavy solid green fills space without adding another strong pattern.

Care at a glance

Light

Bright indirect light. Medium light is tolerated, but colour and compact growth improve in a brighter position.

Water

Water when the top 2–4 cm dries, then soak thoroughly and let all excess water escape.

Atmosphere

Keep at 18–26°C with average to moderate humidity and stable conditions away from cold draughts.

Pets

Not pet-safe. Aroid tissues contain irritating insoluble calcium oxalate crystals.

Detailed careComplete care guideLight, watering, humidity, substrate and nutrition in detail

Light and colour

Place it near an east- or north-facing window or behind a sheer curtain. Very low light slows growth and reduces contrast, while strong direct sun can scorch the blades.

Watering correctly

Check the mix and water when the top 2–4 cm dries. Wet the root ball, allow water to escape through the holes and empty the decorative outer pot.

Air humidity

It adapts to normal household humidity. Stable moderate humidity helps keep edges clean without daily misting.

Temperature

Keep ideally at 18–26°C without sudden drops. Avoid air conditioning, exterior doors and cold glass, and do not expose it below 15°C.

Substrate

Use an airy aroid mix that holds gentle moisture but sheds excess water promptly. A pot with unobstructed drainage holes is essential.

Nutrition and repotting

During active growth, use Nutri One, a complete liquid NPK feed with trace elements, only as directed and never on bone-dry mix. After repotting into a fresh enriched substrate, wait before feeding so nutrition is not needlessly doubled.

Botanical identityOrigin & taxonomic identityThe species, origin and cultivated selection

Genus Aglaonema

Aglaonema is an accepted genus in Araceae. Heinrich Wilhelm Schott published the name in 1829, and the genus includes tropical evergreen aroids.

Selection ‘Valentine’

Aglaonema ‘Valentine’ is sold as a cultivated pink-foliaged selection. The name is used at genus level and is not accompanied publicly by a sufficiently documented breeder or parentage.

Origin of the genus

Wild Aglaonema species range from northeastern India to Papua New Guinea, mainly in humid tropical forest. This range describes the genus, not the place where the cultivar was created.

Anthocyanins build the pink palette

Red and pink pigments coexist with chlorophyll in the tissues. Their ratio and position determine whether an area appears pink, cream, green or somewhere between.

Every leaf re-expresses one genetic design

The cultivated selection is maintained clonally, yet small differences in growth, light and tissue age alter the visible distribution of colour.

The inflorescence is a spadix and spathe

As in most aroids, tiny flowers crowd onto a fleshy spadix surrounded by a modified bract called a spathe.

Raphides explain the toxicity

Needle-like insoluble calcium oxalate crystals occur in the tissues. Chewing releases them and causes immediate mechanical and chemical irritation.

Frequently asked questions

Practical answers about behaviour, common signs and correct care for this plant.

01 Why are new leaves opening greener?

A very young leaf can change substantially as it hardens. If several consecutive mature leaves stay green, increase bright indirect light gradually without exposing the plant to hot sun.

02 Can it live in lower light?

It can adapt to medium light, but growth slows, water use falls and foliage contrast may soften. Bright indirect light gives the best overall form.

03 Will fertiliser make the pink stronger?

Fertiliser supports healthy growth; it is not a dye. Cultivar genetics and suitable indirect light control most of the palette, while excess fertiliser can damage roots and edges.

04 When exactly should I water?

Check the top 2–4 cm with a finger or wooden skewer. If dry, water fully and let it drain; if still cool and moist, wait.

05 Why are lower leaves turning yellow?

One old lower leaf can yellow naturally. Several at once, especially with constantly wet mix, call for a check of watering frequency, drainage and roots.

06 Is it safe around cats, dogs and young children?

Not for chewing or ingestion. Insoluble calcium oxalate crystals can cause oral pain, drooling and difficulty swallowing. Keep it out of reach and contact a vet or doctor if exposure occurs.

We take care of the packaging!

With specially designed boxes, we ensure that the plants will reach you intact, no matter what they encounter on the way!

All plants in 3L pots or larger are placed in individual boxes that secure the plant at the base of the pot, preventing it from tipping over.

The cardboard used for the boxes is specially made to provide resistance to potential impacts during transport.
