Plant description

Aglaonemas 'Brilliant Beauty' is a great foliage plant for indoors and sheltered outdoor spaces. It has broad sword shaped leaves, two toned green heavily splashed with cream and gold. Aglaonemas are from tropical south east Asia, and are widely grown. A good easy care indoor plant that should not be overwatered or over fertilised. Mealy bug can be a problem, to keep the plant healthy take it outdoors every now and again and leave it in the rain to flush excess salts from the soil, but protect from the sun. Likes to be misted regularly, and can take low light conditions. Slow growing and dislike cold conditions. Reputed to bring good luck.
