Chinese Evergreen 'Lady Valentine'
The Chinese Evergreen 'Lady Valentine' is proof that low-maintenance plants don't have to be boring — this showstopper brings bold, rosy-pink energy to any room with almost zero effort on your part. Aglaonema 'Lady Valentine' features large, glossy leaves splashed with vibrant shades of deep pink and crimson against a rich green border — a color combination so dramatic it looks almost artificial. Yet it thrives in the same forgiving conditions as the classic green Aglaonemas: low light, infrequent watering, and average humidity. It's one of the most rewarding plants you can own.
