Alissa, an Aglaonema Pink Star, certainly brings a pop of colour to the room. She's actually a rare member of the wider Aglaonema family, but she's definitely worth the wait!
The name Aglaonema comes from the Greek word for bright, ‘Aglos’, and thread, ‘nema’, due to her variegated leaves.
Native to South East Asia, Stacey is most commonly found basking in the dappled light under large tropical trees.
Alissa, Aglaonema Pink Star
Alissa 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
