Summary
Grown across Southeast Asia for centuries as a bringer of good fortune, the Chinese Evergreen (Aglaonema) solves a problem most colourful plants can't: it gets its colour from leaves, not flowers, so the show never stops — and it keeps performing in spots too dim for fussier plants — though on these colourful cultivars, the brighter the indirect light, the stronger the colour. 'Guave Pink' pairs soft guava-pink tones with deep green edges — subtle colour that works in any room. It's a slow, tidy grower that stays furniture-sized rather than taking over, and it tolerates the odd missed watering with grace. The leaves are toxic to cats and dogs, so keep it out of reach.
