Aglaonema Orange Lipstick – TC Plant - Ethereal DNA

Aglaonema, commonly known as Chinese Evergreen, is a genus of flowering plants in the arum family, Araceae, native to the tropical and subtropical regions of Asia. Renowned for their striking, patterned foliage and exceptional adaptability, these low-maintenance indoor plants are perfect for bringing a touch of the tropics into any space. This particular variety, grown via advanced tissue culture, offers superior vigor and enhanced disease resistance.

🌟 Overview

The Aglaonema Orange Lipstick is a visual masterpiece, displaying lush green leaves bordered by brilliant orange-red margins. Arriving established in a 3.5-inch square pot, this robust specimen is grown through micropropagation to ensure maximum health, consistent genetic variegation, and rapid acclimation to your home environment.

☀️ Light Requirements

This resilient plant thrives in bright, indirect light, which helps maintain its striking, warm-hued margins. However, it is also highly tolerant of lower light conditions, making it an excellent choice for offices or darker corners of your home.

💧 Water Requirements

Water your Aglaonema thoroughly once the top 50% of the potting medium feels dry. Avoid overwatering or letting the plant sit in soggy soil, as this can lead to root rot. Good drainage is key to keeping this plant thriving.
