How to read these values
These care values are quick reference points for indoor growing. Use them as a guide, then adjust for pot size, substrate, temperature and how quickly the substrate dries.
For more detail, read the full product description or visit our Plant Care Guides.
- Light: level and approximate lux at leaf level.
- Watering: “% dry” shows how far the substrate should dry before watering again.
- Substrate: structure, drainage, moisture retention, base material and particle size.
- Temperature: “Ideal” shows the preferred range; “Avoid below” marks the cold-stress threshold.
- Humidity: target range; steady conditions usually matter more than exact numbers.
- Growth habit: how the plant grows, such as upright, climbing, trailing, clumping or rosette-forming.
- Support: whether a stake, pole or trellis is needed, optional or unnecessary.
- Growth speed: expected pace under suitable indoor conditions; use as a guide, not a promise.
- Max size indoors: realistic long-term indoor size under good conditions.
- Toxicity & safety: irritation, toxicity or physical hazards such as spines or bristles.
- Origin & habitat: native range, hybrid background or typical habitat where relevant.
- Outdoor growing: when a potted indoor plant can be placed outside and what outdoor protection it needs.
Aglaonema 'Ivy Green'
Aglaonema 'Ivy Green' is a compact green Chinese evergreen with narrow leaves and pale lengthwise markings. The foliage rises from a small crown, giving the plant an upright shape with a neat vertical outline.
The leaf colour stays within green and soft silver-green tones. Darker margins and lighter inner markings make the pale pattern stand out clearly while keeping the leaf pattern tidy.
Aglaonema 'Ivy Green' leaves and habit
- Narrow green leaves with pale central markings
- Compact upright habit suited to small and medium pots
- Short-stemmed clumping growth from the base
- Green and silver-green colouring with a neat foliage crown
- Slow to moderate growth in warm, filtered light with a root ball that dries slightly between waterings
How Aglaonema 'Ivy Green' grows
Aglaonema 'Ivy Green' is a cultivated Aglaonema grown for its slender foliage and subtle green patterning. It develops from short stems and basal shoots, gradually forming a fuller crown as new leaves overlap around the centre.
Aglaonema species are native from north-eastern India through tropical Asia to Papua New Guinea, where they grow in warm, sheltered habitats. Indoors, Aglaonema 'Ivy Green' keeps shorter stems and a fuller crown with temperatures around 18–27 °C, filtered light and an airy substrate around the roots.
The name Aglaonema comes from Greek roots meaning bright or clear and thread, referring to the stamens.
Aglaonema 'Ivy Green' care needs
- Light: Place in medium to bright filtered light. A position near an east or north-east facing window is usually suitable.
- Watering: Water after the top 2–3 cm of substrate dry. Small pots can dry unevenly, so check both the surface and the deeper root ball.
- Substrate: Use a fine, airy mix with coco coir, bark fines and perlite. The lower stems need a mix that drains quickly after watering.
- Pot choice: Keep it in a pot with drainage holes. A snug root ball dries more evenly than an oversized pot that stays wet around the roots.
- Temperature: Keep warm, ideally 18–27 °C. Move it away from cold window glass and draughty doors.
- Humidity: Average room humidity is generally fine. In very dry rooms, grouped plants or a humidifier can reduce dry tips and help new leaves unfurl without sticking.
- Feeding: Feed lightly every 4–6 weeks while new growth is forming. Use a diluted foliage-plant fertiliser.
- Repotting: Repot when roots fill the pot or the plant dries too quickly after watering. Use only a modest pot size increase.
- Grooming: Remove yellowing older leaves at the base and wipe dust from the narrow blades with a damp cloth.
- Propagation: Divide rooted side shoots during repotting once the plant has several active growth points.
Growth, stem and leaf checks
- Weak, stretched new leaves: Move the plant gradually into brighter filtered light and rotate the pot so new leaves do not lean strongly toward one side.
- Soft lower stems: Check for wet substrate around the crown and inspect the roots. Repot into a more open mix if the base feels unstable.
- Brown tips: Irregular moisture, fertiliser build-up or very dry air are common causes. Rinse the mix and avoid letting the root ball swing between very dry and soaked.
- Dull leaves with fine speckling: Check leaf undersides and petiole bases for spider mites, especially in dry heated indoor air.
Sap and household safety
Place Aglaonema 'Ivy Green' where pets and children cannot reach the leaves or stems. Like many Araceae, it contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate the mouth, tongue and throat if eaten; the sap may also bother sensitive skin after pruning or division.
Its narrow leaves and upright habit make it a neat green Aglaonema for small and medium pots.
