Aglaonema: the colorful queens of indoor greenery
Aglaonema are tropical plants native to Southeast Asia, appreciated for the colors of their leaves, from deep pink to bright red, and from vibrant green to creamy white. They adapt to filtered light, grow slowly to a height of 40-60 cm, and are easy to grow, making them ideal for homes with little light.
Aglaonema, also known as "Chinese evergreens", are among the most popular indoor plants for their extraordinary variety of colors and ease of cultivation. The TerrAcqua collection features rare varieties selected for the vibrancy of their natural colors - from deep pink to bright red, and from vibrant green to creamy white.
These tropical plants, native to the rainforests of Southeast Asia, are naturally adapted to growing in filtered light, making them perfect for homes with little natural light. Their slow, controlled growth (they reach 40-60 cm in height) makes them ideal as a long-lasting decorative feature.

Hydroponics: beauty with minimal maintenance
The hydroponic system used in the TerrAcqua collection represents a true revolution in the way houseplants are grown. Unlike traditional methods, the roots grow directly in nutrient-enriched water, completely eliminating the need for potting soil.
Benefits of hydroponics for Aglaonema
Minimal maintenance: Simply add water every 3-4 weeks, following the level indicator.
No pest problems: The absence of potting soil eliminates the main source of insects and pests.
Zero risk of root rot: The system prevents the harmful waterlogging typical of growing plants in soil.
Optimal growth: The roots continuously receive the right amount of water and nutrients.
Total cleanliness: No more soil spilling out of pots or staining surfaces.
This system makes TerrAcqua plants particularly suitable for those who want greenery in their home but have little time to care for plants, or for those who travel frequently.
Made in Italy pots: where tradition meets innovation
TerrAcqua pots are made from white clay from Cava dei Tirreni using traditional techniques, with contemporary shapes and lead-free partial glazing. This glazing is not merely aesthetic: it allows the pot to breathe and helps maintain the ideal temperature for the roots of Aglaonema grown hydroponically.
What truly makes the TerrAcqua collection unique is the perfect integration of hydroponic technology and the Italian craftsmanship of the white clay pots from Cava dei Tirreni, a center of ceramic excellence since 1600.
