glaonema pictum ‘Tricolour’ – Description

Aglaonema pictum ‘Tricolour’ is a rare and highly sought-after tropical plant, prized for its extraordinary camouflage-patterned foliage. Native to the tropical rainforests of Sumatra, Indonesia, this striking Aglaonema features elongated, oval-shaped leaves displaying a unique combination of three shades of green, ranging from deep forest green to medium green and pale silvery-green. The irregular patches create a distinctive camouflage effect, making each leaf beautifully unique. With its compact, upright growth habit and relatively slow-growing nature, Aglaonema pictum ‘Tricolour’ is a stunning addition to indoor plant collections. Naturally growing beneath dense rainforest canopies, this variety thrives in warm, humid environments with filtered light, rewarding collectors with spectacular foliage.

These are Perfectly Imperfect plants and may have cosmetic imperfections, uneven growth or reduced variegation. While they may not meet our usual retail standards, they still have plenty of potential and offer a wonderful opportunity to grow something special at a more affordable price. These plants come unpotted, with their roots and potting mix carefully wrapped in a bag.


Care Plan for Aglaonema pictum ‘Tricolour’

Light: Prefers medium to bright, indirect light, ideally around 1,000–3,000 lux. Avoid harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch the foliage. Insufficient light may slow growth, while consistent filtered light encourages healthy leaf development.

Water: Keep the soil lightly moist but never waterlogged. Allow the top 2–3 cm of soil to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid prolonged dryness, which may cause leaf curling and browning. Reduce watering during cooler months.

Humidity: Thrives in high humidity (60–80%), ideally around 70%. Higher humidity encourages healthy foliage development and helps prevent crispy leaf edges. A humidifier or controlled indoor growing environment is beneficial.

Temperature: Loves warm, stable temperatures between 22–28°C. Protect from cold draughts and sudden temperature changes. Avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures below 15°C, as this can cause stress and slow growth.

Soil: Use a well-draining, moisture-retentive aroid mix containing quality potting mix, perlite, fine orchid bark and coco coir. The growing medium should retain some moisture while allowing sufficient airflow around the roots. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.

Feeding: Feed every 3–4 weeks during the growing season (spring to early autumn) with a balanced liquid fertiliser diluted to quarter or half strength. Avoid overfertilising, as excessive salts can damage sensitive roots. Reduce or pause feeding during winter.

Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot with adequate drainage and only increase the pot size slightly to avoid excess moisture retention. Repot during warmer months when the plant is actively growing to minimise stress.
