Aglaonema ‘Sparkling Sarah 14–20” Tall (8")

Aglaonema ‘Sparkling Sarah’ | 8” Pot | 14–20” Tall
A Dazzling Southern Accent Full of Grace, Color & Easy Charm

Here at Wrights Market, tucked inside our 1938 cottage filled with laughter, porch breezes, and the aroma of fresh cornbread, we believe plants are more than décor—they’re companions in the everyday beauty of life. The Aglaonema ‘Sparkling Sarah’ is just that kind of companion—vibrant, dependable, and a touch unexpected, like a splash of sass in a well-worn apron.

A member of the Chinese evergreen family, Aglaonema has roots in the shaded understories of Southeast Asia’s tropical forests, where it thrives in warm, indirect light and gentle humidity. The ‘Sparkling Sarah’ variety takes tradition and adds a wink: its lush green leaves are speckled with soft pinks, creamy whites, and even peachy hues. Each leaf feels like a painted promise of joy.

Though it rarely blooms indoors, when it does, it sends up a slender white spathe—quiet and elegant. Symbolically, this plant represents resilience, balance, and joy in simplicity—the same kind of everyday strength we celebrate here in the South.

Care Instructions:

• Light: Grows best in bright, indirect light, but will tolerate lower light with grace

• Water: Let the top 1–2 inches of soil dry before watering; avoid overwatering

• Humidity: Enjoys a bit of humidity but is adaptable—perfect for kitchens, bedrooms, or sunrooms

• Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix; indoor houseplant soil with perlite works well

• Growth Habit: Upright and bushy, reaching 14–20” tall with full, vibrant leaves

• Toxicity: Mildly toxic if ingested—keep away from pets and little ones

Perfect Plant Pairings:

• Calathea Picturata or Stella – matches Sarah’s love of humidity and flair for pattern

• Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum) – a serene companion with similar care needs

• Sansevieria ‘Futura’ or ‘Laurentii’ – adds bold vertical contrast and ease

• Philodendron Birkin – offers elegant striping and a touch of sophistication

The Aglaonema ‘Sparkling Sarah’ is a radiant reminder that even in quiet corners, beauty can shine—and just like family and tradition, it only gets lovelier with time. From our home at Wrights Market to yours, we hope Sarah brings a little everyday sparkle and Southern sweetness to your space.
