About this plant
Aglaonema Spotted Star (Aglaonema 'Spotted Star') is a Chinese evergreen hybrid with dark green leaves densely scattered with pink speckles and lit by pink midribs. The pattern gives it a starry look up close. Its parent species come from the shaded forests of Southeast Asia, and it grows into a neat, bushy clump.
In Dubai it is one of the easier plants for apartments and offices. Steady AC temperatures suit it, and it copes with dry indoor air better than most tropical foliage. Colored Aglaonemas do need more light than plain green types to hold their pattern, so a spot a few meters from a bright window is ideal. Direct sun through glass scorches the leaves, cold air straight from an AC vent marks them, and it is not a plant for outdoor balconies in summer.
Spotted Star suits desks, shelves, bedrooms and office counters. We offer it at around 30–40 cm, in a nursery pot or a ceramic pot.

Care Guide for Dubai Homes
How to keep Aglaonema Spotted Star healthy through the Dubai year.
Light
Bright, indirect light for best color; tolerates medium light. Keep it out of harsh direct afternoon sun in summer.
Watering
Every 7–10 days indoors, when the top 3 cm of soil is dry; every 2–3 weeks in winter. Water when the top 2 to 3 cm of soil feels dry, empty the saucer afterwards, and check the soil before you water: AC slows how fast the plant uses water.
Care notes
Soil: light, peat-free or peat-based potting mix with perlite for drainage. Feeding: a balanced liquid feed at half strength once a month from March to October. Common mistake: leaving it in low light, where the speckles fade. Where it works: living rooms, bedrooms, offices and reception areas away from direct sun.
AC and air flow
Keep it at least 1 metre from AC vents. Cold air blowing straight onto the leaves dries the edges.
Cleaning the leaves
Dust settles quickly in Dubai homes. Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth every few weeks so they keep taking in light.
Feeding and repotting
Feed once a month from March to October. Repot every 2 years into a pot one size up, or book a Plant Doctor visit and we do it for you.
Pets
Listed by the ASPCA as toxic to cats and dogs (insoluble calcium oxalates; can cause oral irritation, pain and swelling of the mouth, drooling, vomiting and difficulty swallowing).

Aglaonema Spotted Star FAQs
Why is it losing its color?
Colored Aglaonemas fade or turn greener in low light. Move it closer to a bright window, out of direct sun.
Will it cope with AC in a Dubai apartment?
Yes, Aglaonema handles air-conditioned rooms well. Keep it out of the direct blast of an AC vent, which can mark and curl the leaves.
Is it toxic to pets?
Yes. The ASPCA lists Aglaonema (Chinese evergreen) as toxic to cats and dogs, so keep it out of reach of pets that chew leaves.
How big does it get?
Aglaonema grows slowly and usually stays around 30–50 cm tall indoors, so it rarely needs repotting more than every two years.
