Aglaonema modestum variegata

Aglaonema modestum 'Variegata' is a beautiful variegated form of the classic Chinese Evergreen, admired for its lush green foliage splashed with creamy white to soft yellow variegation. With its elegant, upright growth habit and easy-care nature, this tropical plant makes a stunning addition to any indoor plant collection while bringing a bright, fresh feel to the home.

Light
Bright, indirect light is ideal to maintain strong variegation. It will tolerate lower light conditions, but growth may slow and the variegation may become less pronounced. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

Water
Allow the top few centimetres of soil to dry between waterings. Water thoroughly, then let excess water drain away. Avoid leaving the plant sitting in water.

Humidity
Prefers moderate to high humidity but adapts well to average indoor conditions. Higher humidity will encourage larger, healthier foliage.

Temperature
Thrives in temperatures between 18–30°C. Protect from cold drafts and avoid temperatures below 15°C.

Soil
Use a rich, well-draining indoor potting mix. An aroid-style mix with added perlite and orchid bark provides excellent drainage while retaining enough moisture for healthy root growth.

Fertiliser
Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertiliser diluted to half strength. Reduce feeding during autumn and winter.

Additional Information
Aglaonema modestum 'Variegata' is prized for its striking variegation and dependable nature, making it suitable for both experienced collectors and beginners. As with all variegated plants, avoid removing leaves with healthy variegation, as each one contributes to the plant's unique appearance. Keep out of reach of pets and children, as all parts of the plant are toxic if ingested.
