This Aglaonema is a very special rarity for lovers of unusual and dark plants, because its pink and accurately running leaf veins stand out against the black-green leaves like neon lights in a black night. Aptly, this rare plant itself also shies away from bright light and prefers rather more shaded locations. Besides, it is not complicated to care for and can be kept in indoor culture as well as in a terrarium, as long as one takes into account its need for higher humidity.
