aglaonema indoor or outdoor Aglaonema 'Stripes'Aglaonema 'Stripes' Aglaonema 'Stripes' is a hybrid Chinese evergreen with long, patterned leaves marked by silvery white bands along the lateral veins. It grows as an upright clump from short stems, and each new leaf adds a clear linear pattern to the crown. The leaves are long and oval, with green areas between the pale vein bands. As the crown fills out and older leaves settle around the base, the plant develops a neat vertical pattern in a pot.

Aglaonema 'Stripes' is a hybrid Chinese evergreen with long, patterned leaves marked by silvery-white bands along the lateral veins. It grows as an upright clump from short stems, and each new leaf adds a clear linear pattern to the crown.

The leaves are long and oval, with green areas between the pale vein bands. As the crown fills out and older leaves settle around the base, the plant develops a neat vertical pattern in a pot.

Aglaonema 'Stripes' leaf pattern

• Hybrid Aglaonema cultivar with clear striped leaf pattern
• Silvery-white bands following the lateral veins
• Long oval leaves that can reach around 35 cm under good cultivation
• Upright clumping habit with a clean, layered crown
• Suited to filtered indoor light and warm, steady rooms

Aglaonema 'Stripes' hybrid background

Aglaonema 'Stripes' was released as a Florida foliage plant cultivar from a cross between Aglaonema 'Manila' and Aglaonema nitidum 'Curtisii'. Its pattern combines strong silvery-white bands along the side veins with softer silver patterning in the same area.

In indoor pots, 'Stripes' develops as a steady, medium-sized foliage plant. The long leaves give the plant vertical presence, while the clumping base keeps it stable in a container.

Aglaonema 'Stripes' care needs

• Light: Grow in medium to bright filtered light. Strong direct sun can roughen or bleach the silver bands.
• Watering: Water when the top 3–4 cm of mix has dried. Keep the root ball lightly moist during active growth.
• Substrate: Use a chunky, moisture-retentive mix with coco coir, bark and perlite or pumice.
• Drainage: Water thoroughly, then let the pot drain fully before it goes back into a decorative cover pot.
• Temperature: Keep at 18–26 °C with protection from cold glass and draughty entrances.
• Humidity: Moderate humidity reduces stuck or uneven expansion on the longer blades.
• Feeding: Feed monthly in spring and summer with diluted balanced fertiliser; reduce feeding during short, dark winter days.
• Repotting: Move up one pot size when roots press against the pot wall or the plant dries unusually fast.
• Leaf care: Wipe the long leaves gently so the vein pattern stays clear.
• Propagation: Propagate by division or stem sections with visible nodes and healthy roots.

Aglaonema 'Stripes' condition cues

• Yellow leaves with soft stems: Check for saturated substrate, poor drainage or a cold root zone.
• Crisp brown tips: Review watering pattern, fertiliser strength and mineral-heavy tap water.
• Bleached rough patches: Move the plant farther from direct sun, especially near south- or west-facing glass.
• Fine speckling or dull leaves: Inspect leaf undersides and petiole bases for mites.
