From plants like the elusive Monstera albo to more common choices such as the Philodendron Birkin or Ficus Tineke, variegated houseplants are all the rage right now. So it’s no surprise that the Aglaonema pictum tricolor is hot on many plant lovers’ wish lists right now. A part of the Aglaonema genus (commonly referred to as Chinese evergreens) and the Araceae family, this stunning variegated plant looks almost too good to be true with its glossy, oval leaves and camouflage-like variegation pattern. As its name suggests, this particular variety of the Aglaonema pictum is characterized by three shades of green on its leaves, whereas other similar-looking varieties may only have two shades. Unfortunately, due to its popularity, the Aglaonema pictum tricolor is considered rare and can be hard to find and pricey to acquire. If you have pets, you should also be aware that like all plants in the Aglaonema genus, the pictum tricolor is considered toxic to pets.
