Aglaonema Commutatum "Pattaya Beauty" 30cmPot

Product Description

Aglaonema ‘Pattaya Beauty’, widely known as the Chinese Evergreen, is a premier broad-leaved tropical perennial prized for its lush, silver-washed architectural foliage and remarkable adaptability. Presented in a large, well-established 30cm pot, this robust specimen features multi-stemmed canes packed with broad, lance-shaped leaves displaying a bold, feathering splash of pewter-silver down the center, framed by deep olive-green margins.

Beyond its striking decorative foliage, mature plants produce subtle, greenish-white arum-like spathes that nestle gently among the leaf petioles. Exceptionally durable and forgiving, it thrives in shaded outdoor garden pockets, covered verandas, and bright interior living spaces alike. Whether grouped beneath tree canopies in sheltered gardens, used as a structural patio urn centerpiece, or placed indoors as an air-purifying focal point, it provides lasting tropical luxury with minimal maintenance.

✨ Low-Maintenance & Resilient: Exceptionally tough foliage resists pests and handles variable light levels with ease

Care & Maintenance

• Light: Position in bright, filtered light or moderate shade. Avoid direct, unfiltered sunlight, as strong rays will quickly burn the variegated leaf tissue.
• Watering: Water thoroughly until water drains freely from the base, then allow the top half of the soil to dry out before watering again. Reduce frequency during slower growth periods.
• Humidity: Appreciates moderate to high ambient humidity; occasional leaf misting or grouped plantings help maintain vibrant leaf margins.
• Feeding: Apply a balanced liquid houseplant or foliage fertiliser at half strength once every 4 to 6 weeks during the warm growing season.
• Grooming: Wipe the large leaves periodically with a damp cloth to remove settled dust, and prune off older lower foliage at the stem base to maintain a clean, compact appearance.
