Aglaonema Guave Pink

The Aglaonema Guave Pink thrives in dim to moderate light, ideally placed 1 to 2 meters from an east or north facing window.

In its natural habitat of the tropical undergrowth of Southeast Asia, Aglaonema Guave Pink grows under the canopy of tall trees, filtering out intense sunlight. It tolerates low-light environments well, making it one of the few tropical plants with colorful foliage suitable for dark interiors.

In summer, keep it away from south- or west-facing windows to prevent leaf burn. In winter, move it slightly closer to the available light source to compensate for the seasonal decrease in sunlight.

Important tip 🌿Absolutely avoid direct sunlight, especially in summer: it discolors and irreversibly burns the beautiful pink foliage of the Aglaonema Guave Pink.For dimly lit interiors, ourgrow light for dimly lit indoor environmentsoffers a full spectrum that stimulates growth and preserves color intensity without harmful UV rays.

Aglaonema Guave Pink is toxic to cats, dogs, and young children.

Like all plants in the Araceae family, Aglaonema Guave Pink contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals in its leaves and stems. These micro-crystals cause an immediate mechanical and chemical reaction upon contact with mucous membranes.

If ingested, common symptoms include severe irritation of the mouth, lips, and throat, excessive salivation, vomiting, and difficulty swallowing. These symptoms are usually moderate to severe but rarely fatal. If ingestion is confirmed, consult a veterinarian or doctor immediately.

What precautions should be taken on a daily basis?

Place the Aglaonema Guave Pink in a high place or in a room inaccessible to pets and young children. Handle the plant with gloves and wash your hands after any contact with the sap.

With a few simple placement precautions, the Aglaonema Guave Pink coexists without difficulty in a home that welcomes pets and children.

The leaves of the Aglaonema Guave Pink most often turn yellow due to overwatering, insufficient light, or a nutrient deficiency.

• If the leaves turn yellow and become limp, the problem usually stems from excess water causing the beginning of root rot.
• If the leaves gradually turn yellow while remaining firm and dry, the plant often lacks light or fertilizer.
• If the yellowing is accompanied by small light spots, a dull appearance or fine webbing, it may be a mite infestation, common indoors, especially in dry atmospheres.

The Aglaonema Guave Pink is particularly sensitive to water that is too hard: regular watering with very hard tap water can cause progressive yellowing of the edges of the leaves, a sign of salt accumulation in the substrate.

Important tip 🌿One or two old leaves turning yellow from time to time is perfectly normal: it is part of the plant's natural cycle.On the other hand, there is cause for concern if several leaves turn yellow rapidly, if the phenomenon spreads to young leaves, or if growth slows down significantly.

In case of a mite infestation, prioritize ourplant-friendly biological treatments, effective and safe for your home.

Aglaonema Guave Pink is ideally repotted in spring, between March and May, when growth actively resumes.

Repotting is necessary when:

• The roots emerge through the drainage holes.
• Growth is slowing down.
• or that the substrate compacts too quickly after watering.

As a general rule, repotting every 2 years is sufficient for an adult plant.

Aglaonema Guave Pink develops a dense and stocky root system, characteristic of its rhizomatous growth habit: its roots quickly occupy all the available space in the pot, hence the importance of regularly monitoring their development.

Choose a pot 2 to 3 cm wider than the old one, and make sure it has drainage holes. Ourtransparent pots to monitor the rootsare ideal: their transparency allows you to easily monitor root recovery after repotting, without disturbing the plant.

Prepare a well-draining and aerated substrate, specially designed for tropical plants.We recommend ourwell-draining substrates enriched with biostimulantsdesigned to promote drainage, root oxygenation, and healthy long-term growth. For Aglaonema Guave Pink, use ourEnriched substrate suitable for aerial roots, draining and rich in nutrients.

1. Carefully remove the plant from its pot, tapping the pot if necessary to loosen the root ball without pulling on the stems.
2. Gently loosen the roots if they are very compacted, without breaking them.
3. Place a layer of substrate at the bottom of the pot, position the plant upright, then fill with substrate without burying the crown.

Important tip 🌿After repotting, water the plant to help the potting mix settle around the roots and eliminate any air pockets. Ensure that excess water can drain freely.Repotting every two years is sufficient to ensure healthy and balanced growth of your Aglaonema Guave Pink.

Aglaonema Guave Pink should be fertilized every 2 to 3 weeks from March to October, with a liquid fertilizer diluted in the watering water.

During autumn and winter, from November to February, significantly reduce or stop fertilizing. This is a period of dormancy during which the plant produces few or no new leaves.

Aglaonema Guave Pink particularly benefits from a balanced supply of nitrogen to maintain the intensity of its pink and rosy hues: without regular fertilization during the growing season, the foliage tends to gradually turn green and lose its characteristic brightness.

A well-balanced intake promotes:

• denser, more colorful foliage
• steady growth,
• and improved plant resistance.

👉 For best results, we recommend ourconcentrated fertilizer for houseplantsEasy to dose, with fast visible results. Practical tips are printed directly on the back of the label and on the product information sheet, for simple and hassle-free use.

Important tip 🌿Never fertilize your Aglaonema Guave Pink in a dry substrate: this could burn the roots.Water normally first, then apply diluted fertilizer 2 to 3 days later, when the potting mix is ​​slightly moist. Regular but moderate fertilization will keep your Aglaonema Guave Pink vigorous and healthy 💚

Water the Aglaonema Guave Pink when the substrate has dried out completely, approximately every 10 to 14 days in summer and every 20 to 25 days in winter. Use room temperature water.

The Aglaonema Guave Pink is particularly sensitive to hard water: prefer filtered water or water left to settle overnight before watering, in order to avoid whitish deposits on the leaves and salt accumulations in the substrate which weaken the roots.

How do I know when to water?

The finger test remains the most reliable method: insert your index finger into the substrate to a depth of 2 to 3 cm. If the substrate is dry, it's time to water. If it's still damp, wait a few more days.

Important advice:When in doubt, it's always better to wait a little longer than to overwater. Plants adapt better to underwatering than to overwatering, which quickly causes root rot.

Aglaonema Guave Pink is propagated by division of clumps or by stem cuttings with nodes, ideally in spring, between March and April, when the plant enters its full growth period.

Stem cutting methodSelect a healthy stem with at least 2 to 3 nodes and 2 well-developed leaves. Make a clean cut just below a node using ourStainless steel blade pruning shears for taking cuttings without damaging the plant: a clean cut limits the risk of infection and promotes root growth.

Instructions :

1. Take the stem cutting, keeping 2 to 3 nodes, then let the cut heal in the open air for 30 minutes before placing the cutting.
2. Place the cutting in ourtransparent pots to monitor root developmentfilled with a slightly moist substrate: their transparency allows you to follow the development of the roots without disturbing the plant.
3. Maintain a stable temperature between 20 and 25°C, in dappled light, avoiding any direct exposure to the sun during the rooting phase.

For optimal root development, you can also use ourlive sphagnum moss to maintain moisture around the cutting, particularly effective for stimulating the development of new roots on Aglaonema stems. Once roots have formed, transplant the cutting into ourDraining and nutritious mix for Philodendron and Araceae, ideal for ensuring rapid recovery and vigorous growth.

Important tip 🌿Aglaonema Guave Pink roots in 3 to 5 weeks under good conditions. You will know the cutting has taken root when it produces a characteristic new pink leaf from the node, a sign that the roots are well established and the plant is actively resuming growth.
