Arrived overnight, looking exactly like the photos

Ordered Tuesday at 8 PM, delivered Wednesday by 9:30 AM. Plant was healthy, tall (about 16 inches), came in the charcoal pot exactly as shown. The packaging was thoughtful — wood shavings, tied stems, no soil spill. Two weeks in and it's already pushed out a new leaf.

Survived me. That's a big deal.

I have killed every plant I have ever owned. Got this for the bedroom. Watered it once in 6 weeks. Still alive, still growing. The team also responded on WhatsApp within an hour when I asked if it was getting too much sun. Not paid to say this.

Beautiful plant, slightly smaller than expected

Plant itself is gorgeous and very healthy. Only minor gripe — I expected the medium size to be taller, but it's closer to 14 inches than 18. Still very happy with it. The Khurja ceramic pot is honestly the best part.

About the Aglaonema Variegated Tiger

The Aglaonema Variegated Tiger is a captivating variety within the Aglaonema genus, known for its distinctive foliage that mimics the bold stripes of a tiger. Native to the tropical forests of Southeast Asia, this evergreen perennial features upright stems with large, lance-shaped leaves displaying variegated patterns of deep green and creamy-yellow. This natural variegation makes each plant unique, with patterns that can vary from subtle streaks to more dramatic contrasts. As part of the Araceae family, it shares characteristics with other popular indoor plants like peace lilies and philodendrons but stands out for its lower maintenance requirements and adaptability to indoor environments.

Light & Placement

Aglaonema Variegated Tiger thrives in medium to bright indirect light, making it perfect for rooms with east or north-facing windows. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, its variegation may become less pronounced in dimmer settings. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the delicate leaves and cause the variegated portions to burn. This plant is highly adaptable and can be placed in various indoor locations, from living rooms and bedrooms to offices and hallways. In spaces with lower natural light, you may notice slower growth, but the plant will generally remain healthy with proper care.

Watering & Humidity

Water your Aglaonema Variegated Tiger when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. This typically means watering every 7-10 days, but frequency will vary depending on your home's temperature, humidity, and light conditions. It's crucial not to overwater, as soggy soil can lead to root rot. During the growing season (spring and summer), you may need to water more frequently, while in winter, the plant's water needs decrease. Average household humidity is generally sufficient for this plant, though it will appreciate occasional misting or placement near a humidifier, especially in drier climates or during air-conditioned summers.

Pet Safety & Toxicity

One of the most appealing aspects of the Aglaonema Variegated Tiger is its pet-friendly nature. Unlike many other popular houseplants, this variety is non-toxic to cats and dogs, making it a safe choice for pet owners. While ingestion is not recommended and may cause mild digestive discomfort, the plant poses no serious health risks to your furry friends. This safety feature, combined with its air-purifying qualities and striking appearance, makes it an ideal plant for homes with pets who might occasionally nibble on greenery.

Care steps

  1. Water thoroughly. Water when top soil is dry, ensuring excess drains out. Avoid letting the plant sit in water.
  2. Provide bright indirect light. Place near east or north-facing windows. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn.
  3. Maintain average humidity. Normal room humidity is sufficient. Mist occasionally in very dry conditions or air-conditioned environments.
  4. Fertilize monthly. Use a balanced liquid fertilizer every month during growing season. Reduce or stop in winter.
  5. Wipe leaves occasionally. Gently wipe leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and maintain the plant's vibrant variegation.
  6. Repot when needed. Repot every 2-3 years or when roots appear through drainage holes. Use well-draining potting mix.
