Christie, an Aglaonema Cherry, will almost certainly bring a pop of colour to your home, I mean, just look at her! She has bright pink and cherry-red leaves, dappled with various shades of green.
She's a member of the wider Aglaonema family, which also includes Alissa, our Aglaonema Pink Star and Ramona, our Aglaonema Red Star to name just a couple. The name Aglaonema comes from the Greek word for bright, ‘Aglos’, and thread, ‘nema’, due to her variegated leaves.
Native to South East Asia, Christie is most commonly found basking in the dappled light under large tropical trees. Unlike the darker green varieties of Aglaonema that can grow in near shade, the variegated varieties require more light.
Christie, Aglaonema Cherry
Christie prefers bright indirect light to partial shade, without prolonged exposure to direct sun - a touch of morning sunlight however would be welcomed.
If you’re not sure what level of light you have, check the shadows cast by your plant:
- Minimal shadow = lower light
- Half shadow = indirect light
- Full shadow = direct sun
