Olla, an Aglaonema Orange Star or Aglaonema Commutatum Orange Star, will definitely brighten your day. That being said, if you ask us, she's more pink than orange.
She's another a rare member of the wider Aglaonema family, even more so than Alissa, our Aglaonema Pink Star. The name Aglaonema comes from the Greek word for bright, ‘Aglos’, and thread, ‘nema’, due to her variegated leaves.
Native to South East Asia, Olla 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.
Olla, Aglaonema Orange Star
Olla 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
