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 'Lipstick Green'
Aglaonema 'Lipstick Green' is a compact Chinese evergreen with slim green leaves, lighter leaf edges and pale petioles. The plant forms a small upright crown, with the stems and leaf bases adding brightness below the blades.
Pointed, smooth leaves sit close together on a young plant. As new basal shoots develop, the crown gains density while the plant stays compact indoors.
Aglaonema 'Lipstick Green' slim-leaf features
- Slim green leaves with lighter edging
- Pale petioles that brighten the base of the crown
- Compact growth habit for smaller indoor pots
- Pointed, smooth foliage with an upright spread
- Compact Aglaonema for warm rooms with filtered light
Pale petioles and crown development
Aglaonema 'Lipstick Green' is a cultivated Aglaonema selected for narrow green leaves and light-toned petioles. It grows from short stems and side shoots, gradually filling the pot from the base.
Aglaonema species come from warm, sheltered habitats from north-eastern India through tropical Asia to Papua New Guinea. Indoors, this cultivar needs stable warmth, filtered light and a draining substrate so the crown stays firm and the roots do not sit wet.
The name Aglaonema comes from Greek roots meaning bright or clear and thread, referring to the stamens.
Care for Aglaonema 'Lipstick Green'
- Light: Give bright filtered to medium indirect light. Direct midday sun can scorch the lighter leaf edges.
- Watering: Water when the upper 2–3 cm of mix dry. Keep the root ball lightly moist through the middle, then allow a short drying phase before the next watering.
- Substrate: Use an airy indoor mix with coco coir, perlite and small bark pieces. A compact young plant needs drainage around the lower stems.
- Drainage: Keep the crown above the substrate surface and empty standing water from the cover pot after watering.
- Temperature: Maintain 18–27 °C. Cold marks can appear after exposure to draughts, cold floors or cold windowsills.
- Humidity: Moderate indoor humidity is suitable. Very dry air can leave new leaf tips tight, curled or dry.
- Feeding: Feed at low strength every 4–6 weeks while the plant is actively growing. Narrow leaves can show salt stress as brown margins.
- Repotting: Repot once roots circle the pot or watering becomes difficult to manage. Use only a slightly larger container.
- Grooming: Cut ageing leaves at the base and clean the leaf surface gently with a damp cloth.
- Propagation: Divide rooted shoots when the plant has developed several crowns.
Crown, edges and slow growth
- Soft crown base: Check for waterlogged substrate, poor drainage or a pot that is too large for the root system.
- Brown leaf edges: Usually linked to salts, dry intervals or heat near glass. Move the plant away from hot glass, radiator heat or repeated dry spells.
- Pale scorch marks: Strong sun or concentrated window heat can mark the leaf surface. Shift the plant to filtered light.
- Slow new growth: Cool roots or very low light can stall the crown. Improve warmth first, then increase ambient light gradually.
Safety around pets and children
The leaves and stems of Aglaonema 'Lipstick Green' contain insoluble calcium oxalate crystals. If eaten, they can irritate the mouth and throat, so keep the plant away from pets and children and wash off sap after cutting old leaves or dividing the plant.
The slim leaves and pale petioles suit narrow shelves and compact displays.
