Know before you buy
This plant requires bright, indirect light to keep its signature camouflage-like variegation vibrant. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves, or in low-light corners, which may cause the pattern to fade.
No, the Aglaonema Pictum Tricolor is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best kept in a location that is inaccessible to curious cats or dogs.
We recommend waiting at least one week before repotting. This allows the plant to acclimate to your home's specific environment and recover from the stress of transit.
The most reliable method is to check the soil moisture; water thoroughly only when the soil feels dry to the touch. On average, this will be about once a week, but you should adjust based on the humidity and temperature of your space.
While it is a stunning addition to any collection, this plant is categorized as having an intermediate care level. It requires consistent attention to light and moisture levels to thrive, making it better suited for those who have some experience with tropical houseplants.
