Aglaonema pictum tricolor is a rare and highly sought-after species among plant collectors, recognized taxonomically and prized for its foliage featuring a unique 'army' pattern with three different shades of green. It has a very good growth rate under optimal conditions, which include moderate indirect light (east-facing windows are the best option), 60% - 70% humidity, and consistently moist soil.

Attention! To check the soil moisture level, inserting your finger 2 cm deep into the pot is the best tool to measure the soil’s moisture.

If you feel the soil is wet, keep the watering can away for one or two days. If it feels dry, water it.

Attention 2! When watering, we must consider the size of the pot the plant is in, as well as the amount and aeration of the substrate. For example, do not pour a liter of water into a pot with a 12 cm diameter and height, as it could drown the plant's roots. It's best to drain the excess water from the collection tray about half an hour after watering.
