Aglaonema Tricolor

Aglaonema Tricolor are identified by their variegated leaves giving a camouflage pattern. This plant is a rare collector’s item.

  • In order to maintain their variegation and vibrant color, providing them with bright, indirect light is highly recommended. Too much direct sunlight could cause their leaves to burn and not enough light could cause them to lose their variegation so bright indirect light is best.

    Ideal Spot: Place it in an East-facing window (for morning sun) or a South- or West-facing window where the light is filtered.

    Avoid: Direct midday sun, which can scorch the leaves.

  • It's important not to overwater Aglaonema. Letting the soil dry out between waterings helps prevent root rot, which is one of the most common issues with Aglaonema care.

    Check the soil by sticking your finger about 1–2 inches deep. If it feels dry, it's time to water. If it still feels moist, wait a few more days.

    When you water, make sure to water thoroughly so that the excess drains out of the bottom of the pot. This ensures the roots get a good drink.

  • Aglaonema prefer a light, well-draining soil. A standard houseplant mix works well, but adding a little perlite or orchid bark for extra aeration can be helpful.

    During the growing season (typically spring and summer), you can fertilize your Aglaonema about once a month. In fall and winter, when the plant is generally in a dormant phase, it’s best to reduce fertilizing or stop altogether.

    Occasionally fertilizing and repotting, you’ll encourage steady growth and keep your Aglaonema looking lush and vibrant.
