Meet Aglaonema pictum 'Tricolor'—the famous camouflage-patterned Chinese evergreen. The leaves look almost painted, with dark, mid and pale green patches that give a true jungle camouflage effect. Stylish, unusual and full of character, she is a brilliant choice for adding something special to the plant shelf.

  • The Formal Name: Aglaonema pictum 'Tricolor'
  • The Nickname: Camouflage Aglaonema
  • Roots: A slow-growing Aglaonema species/selection admired by collectors for pictum-style patterning.
  • Natural Vibe: Warm stable conditions, bright indirect light and a free-draining mix.

Care Guide
  • Care Guide:
  • Sunlight: Medium to bright indirect light keeps the markings strong; avoid harsh sun.
  • Best Room: A warm shelf, cabinet or bright room is ideal, especially for rarer forms.
  • Snacks: Feed lightly in spring and summer.
  • Tropical Feels: Moderate humidity is usually enough, with extra humidity improving leaf quality.
  • Cosy Factor: Keep warm and away from draughts.
  • Thirst: Let the top few centimetres dry before watering again.
  • Safety First: Not pet-safe – keep away from cats, dogs and children who may chew the leaves or stems.
  • The Bedding: Use a free-draining houseplant mix with perlite.
  • Family Tree: Propagate by division or stem cuttings once established.
  • Space Needs: Let the clump fill out without being crowded.
  • Speed: Slow to moderate; pictum types are slower and more collector-focused.
  • Uninvited Guests: Watch for mealybug and spider mites.
  • Moving Day: Repot only when roots are snug.
  • Haircut: Remove old lower leaves when they yellow naturally.
  • Fresh Air: A patterned foliage plant with excellent shelf appeal.
  • Plant Lore: Aglaonema pictum types are slower than standard Chinese evergreens but reward patience with incredible patterning.
