Aglaonema 'Prosperity'

Aglaonema 'Prosperity' is a pink and green Chinese evergreen with a dense, upright crown and broad leaves held on coloured petioles. It grows from a short basal framework, producing new leaves close together so the plant keeps a full indoor shape.

The leaves carry rose to coral-pink colouring, green margins and green flecking, with pattern intensity changing between individual blades. The petioles often carry a matching pink tone, adding colour below the leaf surface.

Aglaonema 'Prosperity' colour profile

• Compact Chinese evergreen with a dense, self-heading crown
• Rose-pink to coral-pink leaves with green markings
• Coloured petioles visible through the centre of the plant
• Broad, glossy blades with varied pattern intensity
• Warm-growing foliage plant for stable indoor conditions

Rose-pink leaves and basal shoots

Aglaonema 'Prosperity' belongs to the Araceae family and grows as a rhizomatous evergreen cultivar. Over time, a healthy plant can develop several shoots in one pot, giving the crown more depth and a fuller outline.

Aglaonema species are native to warm, sheltered forest regions from north-eastern India to Papua New Guinea. In pots, keep it in filtered light, consistent warmth and a substrate that stays lightly moist while draining well.

Leaf pattern can shift with age, season and individual growth. New leaves may open softer in colour, then firm up as the blade matures.

Care points for Aglaonema 'Prosperity'

• Light: Grow in bright indirect light. A position with stable daylight keeps the crown compact and the pink-green leaves balanced.
• Water: Water when the top 2–3 cm feels dry. Use room-temperature water to reduce cold shock around the fleshy petiole bases.
• Substrate: Use a loose mix with fine bark, coco fibre, perlite or pumice, and a little composted material for moisture retention.
• Drainage: Keep the pot free-draining. Coloured Aglaonema cultivars with dense crowns are sensitive to stagnant moisture at the base.
• Temperature: Keep above 18 °C. The low to mid 20s °C range keeps growth steadier.
• Humidity: Moderate humidity limits dry edging on new leaves. In dry air, use grouping or a humidifier and keep watering guided by actual substrate moisture.
• Feeding: Feed every 4–6 weeks during active growth at low strength. Colourful leaves handle gentle feeding than heavy doses.
• Repotting: Repot when roots have filled the container or the plant dries unusually fast. Step up gradually to keep moisture control simple.
• Pruning: Cut ageing leaves near the base. Removing old petioles cleanly keeps the crowded centre ventilated.
• Propagation: Divide mature multi-shoot plants in warm weather and keep each division evenly moist during recovery.

Crown, margin and pest checks

• Brown margins on pink leaves: Check for dry heat, strong fertiliser, direct sun or repeated drying between waterings.
• Soft growth at the crown: Inspect the root ball and basal stems. Wet, compact substrate can soften roots and basal stems.
• Patchy yellowing after repotting: Review pot size, planting depth and watering frequency while new roots establish.
• Slow new leaves: Check temperature first, then light. Cool rooms can pause growth even when watering is correct.
• Speckled or scarred young leaves: Inspect fresh growth and petiole bases for mites, thrips or mealybugs.
