ADD A BEAUTIFUL FITTED POT (OPTIONAL)
The Aglaonema Crete is a stunning, easy-care houseplant with truly striking foliage that will brighten any corner of your home. With its bold mix of deep red, bright pink, and lush green tones, this variety brings a splash of colour and vibrancy wherever it’s placed. A highly decorative and unusual variety of Aglaonema, prized for its colourful foliage and easy care
Tolerant of low-light conditions and low maintenance, Aglaonema Crete is a fantastic choice for beginners or anyone looking for a forgiving but show-stopping houseplant. Its dramatic variegation and glossy leaves give it an ornamental quality that plant collectors love, yet it’s hardy enough to thrive even with minimal fuss.
Aglaonema Crete belongs to the Araceae family and is native to the tropical forests of Southeast Asia, where it grows in the shaded understories of humid jungles. It has adapted beautifully to indoor life and is perfect for rooms with less natural light—making it a go-to plant for offices, bedrooms, or shadier corners of the home.
Aglaonema Crete is a slow grower that develops into a lush, compact plant with pointed leaves splashed in rich pink, green, and creamy yellow. It may also occasionally produce a small spathe-style flower in spring or summer, though its real star quality is in the foliage.
If you're looking to add bold colour without extra care demands, this is the plant for you. Whether styled solo or grouped with other tropical plants, the Aglaonema Crete adds texture, energy, and a little wild magic to your interior.

We post to most of the UK, but we’re unable to deliver to the Scottish Highlands and Islands, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, the Isle of Wight, the Scilly Isles and the Channel Islands because of higher shipping costs.
When we list a plant’s height, it always includes the grow pot, stem, foliage and living root system — not just what you see above the soil. Because every plant is unique, yours may arrive a little smaller or larger than the size listed.
