Aglaonema pictum 'Tricolor’

Description:

The Aglaonema pictum 'Tricolor' is a rare and highly sought-after variety, prized for its unique camouflage-patterned foliage. The stunning leaves display a blend of three shades of green, creating a striking mosaic-like appearance. This slow-growing plant is well-suited for indoor environments and brings an exotic, jungle-like aesthetic to any space.  In addition to its ornamental appeal, Aglaonema pictum 'Tricolor' is adaptable, making it a great choice for collectors and enthusiasts looking for a standout specimen in their indoor plant collection.

Watering:

Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Use filtered or distilled water if possible. During cooler months, reduce watering frequency as the plant's growth slows.

Fertilizer:

Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Use a diluted strength. Reduce feeding in fall and winter when the plant enters a slower growth phase.

Lighting:

Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant camouflage pattern. Too much direct sunlight can cause leaf burn. If growing in low light, supplement with a grow light to maintain optimal coloration.

Temperature:

Thrives in temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Avoid exposure to cold drafts, air conditioning vents, or sudden temperature changes, as these can stress the plant and cause leaf damage.

Humidity:

Requires high humidity to thrive. Ideally, keep humidity levels above 60%. If the air is too dry, mist the plant regularly, place it near a humidity tray, or use a room humidifier. Maintaining high humidity will help keep the foliage lush.
