Aglaonema pictum 'Tricolor'

Aglaonema pictum 'Tricolor' is a patterned form of Aglaonema pictum, a species from Sumatra including Nias. It grows as a low, slow subshrub with short stems and oval leaves marked in several green tones.

The plant forms a compact crown and adds new leaves slowly. New leaves emerge rolled and pale, then firm up as the green mottling becomes clearer.

Key traits of Aglaonema pictum 'Tricolor'

  • Selected Aglaonema pictum form with three-tone green leaves
  • Oval leaves with dark green, mid-green and pale green mottling
  • Compact subshrub habit with slow indoor growth
  • Species background from wet tropical Sumatra, including Nias
  • Best where warmth, humidity and moisture stay consistent; cold or dry windowsills can stall new leaves and crisp the edges

Leaf pattern and habitat

Aglaonema pictum is an Araceae species from wet tropical forest conditions. In cultivation, 'Tricolor' describes selected plants with three-tone leaf patterning within Aglaonema pictum.

Give it filtered light, warm roots and lightly moist substrate; sudden dry heat or cold air can mark new leaves. In a pot, older stems may slowly lengthen and root from nodes when they sit close to moist substrate.

Care requirements for Aglaonema pictum 'Tricolor'

  • Light: Place in bright filtered light, such as an east-facing window or moderate grow-light position.
  • Watering: Keep the substrate lightly and evenly moist. Water when the upper 2–3 cm begins to dry.
  • Substrate: Use a fine, airy mix with coco coir, small bark, perlite, pumice and a little fine composted leaf matter.
  • Drainage: Keep the mix open enough that water drains freely while the roots stay slightly moist.
  • Temperature: Keep at 20–28 °C for active growth. Growth slows strongly in cool rooms.
  • Humidity: Aim for moderate to high humidity, especially during new leaf expansion. A plant cabinet or humidifier can keep conditions steadier.
  • Feeding: Feed very lightly during active growth. Slow-growing pictum forms handle weak, regular nutrition better than heavy doses.
  • Repotting: Repot carefully only when roots fill the pot or the substrate has degraded. Disturbed roots recover more cleanly in warm conditions.
  • Placement: Choose a stable position away from cold windows, hot radiators and sudden air movement, as new leaves mark more easily when conditions change suddenly.
  • Propagation: Propagate by rooted divisions or stem sections with nodes, kept warm and humid while new roots form.

Growth responses

  • Yellowing with soft leaf stalks: Check the lower root ball for saturation and improve drainage before watering again.
  • Crisp leaf edges: Review humidity, watering consistency and dry heat from radiators or vents.
  • Small, weak new leaves: Check temperature and light level; cool conditions slow this species noticeably.
  • Leaf marks after shipping or moving: Keep the plant warm and in filtered light until the next leaves harden without new marks.
  • Stem stretch with fewer leaves: Check whether the plant is reaching for light and rotate it gradually toward a brighter filtered position.

Slow compact growth

This plant naturally grows slowly and stays compact. Warm roots and stable humidity help new leaves unfurl without sticking or drying at the edges.

Safety and handling

Aglaonema pictum 'Tricolor' contains irritating calcium oxalate crystals. The leaves and stems can irritate the mouth and throat if eaten, so place the plant where pets and children cannot reach it. Wash hands after cutting or dividing stems.

Aglaonema pictum etymology

The botanical name is Aglaonema pictum (Roxb.) Kunth, in the Araceae family. Aglaonema is commonly derived from Greek roots meaning bright or shining and thread. The species epithet pictum comes from Latin pictus, meaning painted or coloured, referring to marked foliage. In horticultural use, 'Tricolor' describes selected plants with three green tones on the leaves.

Aglaonema pictum 'Tricolor' needs steadier warmth, humidity and moisture than most common Chinese evergreen cultivars.

Not the same rubber.
I just received these today. I already have two of the same size direct from the local pet store. The one thing I liked about them that made me want to buy more - my 13lb dog could chew on them all night and never leave a mark. The red one I received was as expected. The blue one I received was not made out of the same rubber. It was softer. We played catch a few times and it didn’t bounce the same. I looked away for 5 minutes and she had it already starting to shred. Not sure what happened but 1 of the 2 balls I was sent was not up to par, possibly defective.

Perfect for giving my dull skin a extra boost
Size: 3.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Color: Golden Aura
Really great moisturizer for my entire body. I have been having issues with my skin looking dull & dry even after using lotion. I’ve realized b/c I am 40+ I need to add an extra layer with a little extra in the ingredients to bring my skin back to life & this has really did a good job so far. I love it. I originally bought it for my day for prom to give her extra shine that will last all night & it did an amazing job on her “young” skin & made it glow so beautifully. Then I said, let’s see what it will do for momma & started using it. I like it b/c it doesn’t leave residue on clothes & it’s not too thick or oily it’s perfect. After the shower this is my got to & a night out I will definitely add a layer of this & hit the road. I definitely recommend this product if you are looking for anything I mentioned above. I will be buying my daughter another bottle & myself as well & adding to subscription list.

New Summer skincare routine staple!

Wow! This oil is amazing! It smells heavenly and feels dreamy! It leaves your skin looking beautiful with a stunning shimmer. It hydrates without an oily or sticky feeling and feels lightweight and soft on the skin. It is really such a great value because it barely takes any product to hydrate your skin. This will be a staple for my Summer skincare routine!
