So Many Colors, So Many Choices
One of the most delightful things about Aglaonemas is the sheer range of colors they come in. From deep forest greens to silvery whites, blush pinks, fiery reds, warm ambers, and everything in between — no other houseplant genus offers quite this much variety in a single, easy-to-care-for package.
But that variety can also make choosing feel overwhelming. Which color is right for your space? Which varieties need more light? Which ones are best for beginners? This guide breaks it all down so you can shop with confidence.
Green & Silver Varieties: The Low-Light Champions
Green and silver Aglaonemas are the most adaptable of the bunch. They tolerate lower light better than any other color group, making them ideal for north-facing rooms, offices, hallways, and any space that doesn't get much direct sun. They're also typically the most forgiving of inconsistent watering and care.
If you want a plant that will genuinely thrive with minimal fuss, start here.
- Aglaonema Cutlass — long, lance-shaped leaves with silver-green variegation and a sleek, architectural look. One of our most popular varieties for offices and modern interiors.
- Aglaonema green papuma — classic deep green foliage with subtle patterning. Virtually indestructible and endlessly elegant.
- Aglaonema Moonstone Miles — creamy, mottled silver and green variegation with an almost watercolor quality. Beautiful in any light level.
Pink Varieties: Soft, Romantic & Eye-Catching
Pink Aglaonemas are among the most sought-after in the genus — and for good reason. Their warm, rosy tones add a softness to any space that's hard to achieve with other plants. They need more light than green varieties to maintain their color (bright indirect light is ideal), but they're still far more forgiving than most colorful houseplants.
- Aglaonema jolie — soft, blush pink and green leaves with a delicate, painterly quality. One of the most graceful pink varieties we carry.
- Aglaonema pink panama — vibrant pink centers fading to green edges, with a bold, tropical feel.
- Aglaonema pink emerald / rainbow — a stunning mix of pink, green, and cream that earns its "rainbow" nickname.
- Aglaonema pink dalmation — speckled pink and green patterning that's playful and unique.
- Aglaonema super pink kamkoon — intensely pink new growth that matures to a softer blush. A real showstopper.
- Aglaonema pink lotus — soft pink tones with a compact, tidy growth habit. Perfect for smaller spaces.
- Aglaonema pink maroon galaxy — a dramatic mix of pink, maroon, and deep green that looks almost cosmic.
Red & Dark Varieties: Bold, Dramatic & Striking
Red Aglaonemas make a statement. Their deep, saturated tones — from burgundy to bright scarlet — add drama and warmth to any room. Like pink varieties, they need bright indirect light to maintain their color intensity, but they're surprisingly tough once established.
- Aglaonema red vein — bold red veining on deep green leaves. One of our best-sellers and a perennial favorite for good reason.
- Aglaonema red legacy — rich, deep red tones with a velvety quality. A collector's variety that looks incredible in a bright spot.
- Aglaonema andini — striking hot pink to red coloring with an almost neon intensity. For those who want maximum impact.
- Aglaonema mulan — deep maroon and green tones with a moody, sophisticated feel.
Warm & Multicolored Varieties: The Conversation Starters
Some Aglaonemas defy easy categorization — they blend multiple colors in patterns that look almost hand-painted. These are the varieties that make guests stop and ask "what is that?" They generally need bright indirect light to look their best.
- Aglaonema Amber — warm amber, orange, and green tones that glow in bright light. A truly unique color palette in the Aglaonema world.
- Aglaonema full house — a lively mix of green, pink, and cream with a full, bushy growth habit.
- Aglaonema paragon — rich, multicolored foliage with a bold, tropical energy.
- Aglaonema Lotus Delight — soft, layered tones of pink and green with an almost floral quality.
White & Cream Varieties: Elegant & Luminous
White and cream Aglaonemas have a quiet elegance that works beautifully in minimalist, Scandinavian, or monochromatic interiors. They need good light to maintain their pale coloring — in low light, they'll gradually push out greener leaves.
- Aglaonema white valentine / super white — heavily variegated with creamy white, almost ghostly in the best possible way. A rare and striking variety.
- Aglaonema white platinum — silvery white with subtle green patterning. Cool, calm, and incredibly elegant.
- Aglaonema siam perfect — a classic variety with clean, well-defined variegation and a tidy, upright habit.
How to Choose: A Quick Decision Guide
Low light space? Go green or silver — Cutlass, Moonstone Miles, or Green Papuma.
Bright indirect light? Any color works. This is where the pinks, reds, and multicolored varieties really shine.
Want maximum color impact? Lotus delight, Pink Emerald, Beauty, or Pink Maroon Galaxy.
Want something subtle and elegant? Paragon, Sapphire Suzzane white platinum, or Moonstone Miles.
First Aglaonema? Moonstone Miles or Cutlass — both are forgiving, widely available, and beautiful.
