Aglaonema Stripes

The Aglaonema ‘Stripes’ enchants with its dramatic, silvery-striped foliage. This plant adds both tropical flair and an air of sophistication. This green pal is a perennial that brings textured greenery to contemporary lofts, classic parlors, or cozy dens.

The Aglaonema ‘Stripes’ features lance-shaped leaves up to 30cm long. With each dark green blade, you can see narrow and horizontal silvery-white bands. They’re also glossy in texture and quite pronounced. Place it on side tables, entryway consoles or pedestal stands to showcase its upright clumping habit. In open-plan living rooms, it provides a sculptural focal point. In bedrooms or bathrooms, it brightens shaded corners. Pair it with ceramic, concrete, or rattan planters to complement Scandinavian, industrial or eclectic décor schemes. To each their own, and this plant can belong.

The Aglaonema Stripes grows into a compact clump reaching 30 to 60 cm in height and width. Its moderate growth rate produces new leaves every 6 to 8 weeks during the growing season. The plant maintains an upright rosette form, needing no staking. Just trim spent leaves to keep a tidy profile. Start in a 12 cm pot and upgrade to 15 to 18 cm when roots fill its home, typically every two years. Its controlled size makes it ideal for desktops, shelves or floor groupings with friends like ZZ plants and snake plants.

The Aglaonema Stripes thrives in bright, indirect light but tolerates low to moderate illumination with only slight fading of stripes. Avoid direct midday sun that can scorch foliage. An east- or north-facing window with sheer curtains suits it well. It also adapts to fluorescent office lighting, making it a top choice for workspaces. Outdoors, keep it on covered patios or shaded verandas in temperatures between 15 °C and 30 °C. Be mindful that cold snaps below 10 °C will damage leaves.

The Aglaonema Stripes rates as easy-care. Water when the top 2 cm of soil feels dry. That’s typically every 7 to 10 days in spring and summer, and every 14 to 21 days in cooler months. Use a well-draining mix rich in peat and perlite, and empty saucers after watering. Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 6 to 8 weeks during active growth. All parts are mildly toxic if ingested! So keep out of reach of pets and children. Avoid overwatering and cold drafts, which can lead to root rot and leaf spotting.

The Aglaonema Stripes is celebrated for removing airborne toxins such as formaldehyde and benzene in home environments. Beyond clean air, studies show that interacting with low-maintenance greenery reduces stress levels and improves concentration by up to 15%. Its sculptural presence fosters a sense of calm, making it ideal for bedrooms, meditation corners or busy workstations. The simple routine of gentle leaf cleaning and watering offers a mindful break, boosting mood and emotional well-being throughout the day.
