Aglaonema Orange Sombat

Aglaonema Orange Sombat is a colorful Chinese evergreen with broad leaves washed in coral-red, pink, and green. No two leaves develop exactly alike, so the plant becomes more interesting as each new leaf opens.

You will receive the exact plant pictured, growing in a 4-inch nursery pot. Its coloring and leaf patterns will continue to change as it grows.

Plant Details

• Pot size: 4-inch nursery pot
• Growth habit: Upright and bushy
• Light: Bright, indirect light for the strongest color; tolerates moderate indoor light
• Water: Water when the upper 1 to 2 inches of the potting mix feel dry
• Soil: Airy, well-draining houseplant mix
• Humidity: Average household humidity is usually sufficient
• Difficulty: Easy

Care

Light: Place Orange Sombat near a bright window where it receives filtered light. Harsh direct afternoon sun can scorch the foliage, while very low light may soften its red and pink coloring.

Watering: Check the soil and the weight of the pot instead of watering on a fixed schedule. Water thoroughly when the upper 1 to 2 inches feel dry, then allow the pot to drain completely. Do not leave the roots sitting in water.

Temperature and soil: Keep the plant warm and away from cold drafts. A loose, well-draining mix helps protect the roots from staying wet too long.

After arrival: Give the plant a stable spot with bright, indirect light and allow it to settle before repotting or fertilizing. A little temporary drooping or an older yellowing leaf can occur while a shipped plant adjusts.

Pet safety: Aglaonema contains insoluble calcium oxalates and is toxic if chewed. Keep it away from pets and small children.

Quick Questions 🌿

Will the new leaves keep the same pattern?
No. Each leaf can develop a different balance of coral, pink, red, and green.

Can it grow in low light?
It can adapt to moderate indoor light, but bright, indirect light usually produces stronger color and sturdier growth.

How do I know when to water?
Feel the upper 1 to 2 inches of soil and lift the pot. Water when that layer is dry and the pot feels noticeably lighter.

Should I repot it immediately?
No. Let it acclimate first. Repot only after it has settled and the roots need more room.

Is the plant in the photo the one I will receive?
Yes. This listing is for the exact 4-inch plant pictured.

Is it pet safe?
No. Keep it out of reach of pets and children who may chew the foliage.
