Aglaonema/Chinese Evergreen 'Siam Aurora' in a 10cm Pot

The Aglaonema 'Siam Aurora', also known as the Chinese Evergreen 'Siam Aurora', is a vibrant and ornamental cultivar of the Aglaonema genus. Celebrated for its striking foliage, this plant is a staple in the world of interior landscaping. Native to the tropical rainforests of Asia, particularly Thailand, the 'Siam Aurora' is renowned for its adaptability and aesthetic appeal.

The 'Siam Aurora' features lush, elongated leaves adorned with a unique combination of colours. The foliage is primarily a deep green, but each leaf is beautifully variegated with shades of pink, red, and cream. This vivid coloration, particularly the pink and red hues along the leaf margins and veins, gives the plant a distinctive and exotic appearance.

What sets the 'Siam Aurora' apart is its resilience and low maintenance requirements, making it an ideal choice for both experienced and novice plant enthusiasts. It thrives in a variety of lighting conditions, from low to bright indirect light, though the vibrancy of its leaves is enhanced in brighter environments. Overexposure to direct sunlight, however, should be avoided as it can scorch the leaves. It is tolerant of irregular watering, making it forgiving for those who might not have a consistent watering schedule. High humidity is beneficial but not necessary for its survival, and it is relatively resistant to pests and diseases.

Adding to its appeal, the Aglaonema 'Siam Aurora' is known for its air-purifying qualities, making it a functional as well as a visually appealing addition to homes and offices.
