This variety features striking, vibrant leaves with deep green bases accented by a pinkish-red center, creating a mesmerising gradient of colour. The variegation often appears as intricate patterns, enhancing the plant's decorative appeal. With its bold contrast and unique coloration, ‘Danxia’ is perfect for brightening up low-light areas in your home or office. The leaves are glossy and smooth, with an elegant structure that lends sophistication to any setting. Like other Aglaonema varieties, ‘Danxia’ is low-maintenance, thriving in indirect light and requiring minimal care, making it a favourite among both beginners and experienced plant enthusiasts.

Native to the tropical and subtropical regions of Asia, specifically South-east Asia, and can also be found in parts of New Guinea. In their natural environment, these plants thrive under the shade of forest canopies, making them well-adapted to low-light indoor conditions.

Tips for Planting and Care:

Light: Aglaonema prefers low to medium indirect light but can tolerate low-light conditions, making it ideal for dimly lit rooms or offices.
Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.
Humidity: This plant thrives in humid environments. Mist the leaves regularly or place a humidity tray nearby to boost the moisture in the air.
Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 18°C to 27°C (65°F to 80°F). Aglaonema is sensitive to cold drafts and temperatures below 15°C (59°F).
Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix with added perlite or orchid bark to promote airflow around the roots.
Fertiliser: Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser once a month during the growing season (spring and summer).

Hardening from Tissue Culture


After receiving your Aglaonema in its tissue culture cup, it will require careful transitioning to its new environment:
Remove the Plant from the Cup: Gently remove the plant from the tissue culture medium. Rinse the roots thoroughly with lukewarm water to remove any remaining gel.
Acclimate to Open Air: Place the plant in a high-humidity environment such as a humidity dome or a sealed plastic bag. Gradually open the dome or bag over the course of 7 to 10 days to reduce humidity levels and allow the plant to adjust to normal room conditions.
Transplant: Once hardened, transplant the Aglaonema into a well-draining potting mix, making sure not to damage the delicate roots. Keep the plant in a warm, humid spot with indirect light as it continues to establish.

Why Choose Aglaonema?
Aglaonema is a perfect choice for beginners and seasoned plant lovers alike. Its robust nature allows it to thrive in challenging indoor environments, making it a fantastic plant for adding a lush, tropical aesthetic to homes, offices, and shops.

Aglaonema comes in a sterile tissue culture cup, ensuring a disease-free, healthy plant ready to grow in your space.
