Aglaonema Pink Leopard is a stunning tropical foliage plant celebrated for its vivid pink tones and intricate leaf variegation. A cultivated hybrid from the Araceae family, this variety combines the lush, compact growth of traditional Aglaonemas with the striking, speckled colouration of newer ornamental hybrids.
The leaves are elongated and slightly pointed, showcasing a vibrant blend of rosy pink, cream, and green speckles that create a painterly, leopard-like pattern giving this cultivar its fitting name. New leaves often emerge in softer peachy tones before maturing into intense shades of hot pink and emerald. With its upright, bushy habit and colourful, glossy foliage, Aglaonema Pink Leopard brings a playful yet refined tropical feel to any interior.
Compact, resilient, and beautifully expressive, this variety exemplifies the modern appeal of Aglaonemas bold colour and effortless care, wrapped into one truly exotic plant.
Aglaonema Pink Leopard Care Guide
Light
Thrives in bright, indirect light but tolerates medium or slightly shaded conditions. For the most vivid pink tones, provide several hours of filtered sunlight each day. Avoid strong direct sun, which can scorch the leaves or fade the variegation.
Watering
Keep the soil lightly moist but not soggy. Water when the top 23 cm of soil feels dry. Aglaonema Pink Leopard enjoys consistent moisture but must have good drainage to prevent root rot. Reduce watering in winter while maintaining a slightly humid environment.
Temperature and Humidity
-
Temperature: Prefers warm, stable conditions between 2028 C; avoid cold draughts and temperatures below 16 C.
-
Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity (5070%). Light misting or a humidifier helps preserve the leaf gloss and prevent crisping edges.
Soil and Potting
Use a well-draining, rich tropical mix, such as compost blended with perlite and coco coir. The roots prefer lightly moist but airy soil. Repot every 12 years in spring to refresh the substrate and support continued, healthy growth.
Feeding
Feed every 46 weeks in spring and summer with a diluted, balanced liquid fertiliser formulated for foliage plants. Overfeeding can lead to salt build-up and may dull the variegation, so apply sparingly. Suspend feeding during the cooler months.
Pruning and Maintenance
Remove yellowing or aged leaves from the base to maintain a clean, symmetrical shape. Wipe leaves occasionally with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and highlight their glossy finish. Rotate the plant periodically for even light exposure and uniform colouration.
Growth and Maturity
A slow to moderate grower, Aglaonema Pink Leopard typically reaches 4060 cm in height and spread. With age, its pink colouration deepens and the mottling becomes more distinct. It maintains a compact, clumping form, making it ideal for tabletops, desks, or accent corners in bright interiors.
Common Issues
-
Yellow leaves: Overwatering or cold conditions.
-
Pale or re-greening leaves: Insufficient light.
-
Brown edges: Low humidity or dry air.
-
Pests: Occasionally mealybugs or thrips; treat promptly with neem oil or insecticidal soap.
Background and Benefits
Aglaonemas, native to Southeast Asias humid forest understories, have been cultivated for centuries as ornamental houseplants prized for their tolerance of low light and ease of care. The Pink Leopard hybrid represents the next evolution in decorative Aglaonemas bred for brighter colouration, bolder patterns, and superior adaptability to indoor environments.
Like all Aglaonemas, Pink Leopard also functions as an air-purifying plant, helping to filter toxins and enhance indoor air quality. Its warm colour palette and glossy texture bring a vibrant, modern tropical touch to home and office spaces alike, blending beauty with practicality.
