How to read these values
These care values are quick reference points for indoor growing. Use them as a guide, then adjust for pot size, substrate, temperature and how quickly the substrate dries.
For more detail, read the full product description or visit our Plant Care Guides.
- Light: level and approximate lux at leaf level.
- Watering: “% dry” shows how far the substrate should dry before watering again.
- Substrate: structure, drainage, moisture retention, base material and particle size.
- Temperature: “Ideal” shows the preferred range; “Avoid below” marks the cold-stress threshold.
- Humidity: target range; steady conditions usually matter more than exact numbers.
- Growth habit: how the plant grows, such as upright, climbing, trailing, clumping or rosette-forming.
- Support: whether a stake, pole or trellis is needed, optional or unnecessary.
- Growth speed: expected pace under suitable indoor conditions; use as a guide, not a promise.
- Max size indoors: realistic long-term indoor size under good conditions.
- Toxicity & safety: irritation, toxicity or physical hazards such as spines or bristles.
- Origin & habitat: native range, hybrid background or typical habitat where relevant.
- Outdoor growing: when a potted indoor plant can be placed outside and what outdoor protection it needs.
Aglaonema 'Pink Aurora'
Aglaonema 'Pink Aurora', also known as 'Lipstick Pink', has slim green leaves edged in vivid pink with a matching pink midrib. The colour follows the leaf outline and central vein, giving each blade a defined green centre with a bright pink frame.
Short basal stems hold the leaves upright and close together, so the plant stays compact in a small to medium pot. New leaves usually repeat the pink-edged pattern, with small natural shifts in edge width and colour intensity from one leaf to the next.
Pink-edged leaves on Aglaonema 'Pink Aurora'
- Leaf colour: Green blades with strong pink to fuchsia edging.
- Midrib: Pink central vein running through mature leaves.
- Leaf shape: Narrow, lanceolate leaves with an upright spread.
- Growth habit: Short basal stems forming a compact foliage cluster.
- Container growth: Leaves stay gathered around the base instead of stretching into long stems.
- Pattern variation: Pink edge width and intensity can differ slightly between leaves.
Indoor growth for Aglaonema 'Pink Aurora'
Aglaonema 'Pink Aurora' keeps most of its growth close to the pot. The pink margins sit at the most exposed part of the leaf, so direct sun and very dry air usually show first as brown edging.
Warm conditions reduce cold-related yellowing and soft petioles. Wet substrate, repeated drying and cold air can show as yellow lower leaves, dry tips or softened stems.
Aglaonema 'Pink Aurora' care
- Light: Place in bright filtered light. Direct sun can scorch the pink margins and leave dry brown patches.
- Lower light: Softer light slows growth and may make the stems angle toward the brightest side.
- Water: Water when the upper 2–3 cm of substrate feel dry, then let the pot drain fully.
- Substrate: Use an airy houseplant mix with fine bark, perlite or mineral material so the roots stay oxygenated after watering.
- Temperature: Keep above 13 °C and away from cold window glass or draughts.
- Humidity: Average to moderately higher indoor humidity suits this cultivar; very dry air can crisp the narrow leaf edges.
- Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth. Flush the pot occasionally if brown tips appear after repeated fertilising.
- Rotation: Turn the pot every few weeks to keep the upright leaf cluster even.
Troubleshooting Aglaonema 'Pink Aurora'
- Dry pink margins: Usually linked to direct sun, dry air or repeated underwatering.
- Yellow lower leaves: Often caused by wet substrate, cold roots or a sudden change after transport.
- Soft stems: Check the root zone immediately; dense wet mix can damage Aglaonema roots quickly.
- Brown tips: Can follow fertiliser salt build-up, irregular watering or very dry indoor air.
- Pests: Cottony white clusters around petioles suggest mealybugs; fine webbing or stippled leaves point to spider mites.
- Leaning growth: Move the plant closer to filtered light and rotate the pot rather than cutting healthy stems.
Aglaonema 'Pink Aurora' safety
Keep Aglaonema 'Pink Aurora' away from pets and children that chew plants. Aglaonema contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can irritate the mouth, throat and skin after chewing or sap contact.
Aglaonema 'Pink Aurora' name background
Aglaonema belongs to Araceae, the aroid family. The genus occurs naturally from north-east India to Papua New Guinea, while 'Pink Aurora' is a cultivated houseplant selection. The genus name combines Greek aglaos, meaning bright or clear, and nema, meaning thread, in reference to the stamens.
