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.

Do We Really Need So Much Stuff?

This! Book! Rocks!
Format: Paperback
If you enjoy laughing, having fun with your friends and family, and doing cool stuff, you will love Lynda Barry's Making Comics. This is a thoughtful and complete recap of her live class at the University of Wisconsin, includes much of her substantial thought and philosophy on the role of image making in human evolution, and is full of her (and her students') amazing artwork; but it's also full of excessively FUN drawing exercises that are wonderful for sucky drawers as well as professional artists. We dig this book so bad!!! Best gift I've given myself in a million years!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe I had a little bit forgotten how much I! Love! Lynda! Barry!!!!! So if you wish you could go move to Wisconsin and take her class like I do, instead just save the planet the extra greenhouse gases and get this book instead and do the class at your kitchen table with your friends!!! Maybe also order it from your local groovy independent bookstore so you can stick it to the man!!!

Highly comical
Format: Paperback
This book is simply amazing. I have stopped, wondering about comics and begun mastering them. The author is always amazing. I’ve read most of her work and I can hardly highly recommend them. especially her novel Cruddy it was the best!

This Book Will Make You Happy
Format: Paperback
This book is beautiful, inspiring and uplifting. I happen to be someone who never drew very but wants to draw again. It's perfect for me. However, even if I didn't have an interest in drawing, the art, stories and information are compelling and warm. I truly believe anyone will enjoy this book. I first learned of the amazing Lynda Barry when I was a kid reading Ernie Pook's Comeek. I have since read everything Lynda Barry has ever published - and every bit is a treasure. There is a kindness, wisdom, openness and compassion in everything she does. For me, her work is like a tonic and a salve. This book comes to me at the perfect time - the most painful and difficult year of my life. It is powerful and soothing. This is a work you will love and go back to again and again.

Such a fun book
Format: Paperback
If you are looking to get back into drawing or just spark creativity, this is the perfect book to get started with. It's not necessarily a direct instruction book - so you need to be patient and EXPLORE. The only thing that would make it more perfect is if someone came up with a deck of attendance card prompts for when you run out of your own ideas!
