Aglaonema Cutlass
Aglaonema Cutlass is an easy-to-grow houseplant that produces thin silver-green leaves and requires little to no maintenance to thrive other than regular watering. Aglaonemas tolerate low light and are known to be a NASA-approved clean air plant.
Unlike most Aglaonema that boast large oval-shaped foliage, the Cutlass Chinese Evergreen sports slim and long leaves that more so resemble a Dracaena. The Cutlass has light silver-green foliage with a darker green pattern painted throughout the leaves that makes for a subtle statement.
If you are looking to add live greenery to your home, but don’t know much about plant care, this is the ideal low maintenance indoor plant for you. The ideal care regimen for the Cutlass Aglaonema includes bright indirect light and watering when your plant’s soil has dried. However because this plant is very adaptable to a wide variety of conditions, it will easily tolerate low fluorescent light to medium light levels as well.
Your Cutlass plant will also grow best if kept away from drafts or heat vents during the colder winter months. Additionally, we would recommend to plant your Aglaonema in a pot with drainage holes to avoid issues of excess moisture and root rot.
Aglaonemas are sometimes called Chinese Evergreens, and they are the perfect office plants or for darker rooms in your home or apartment. These plants make great office plants because they require so little care. There is no need to worry about your Aglaonema during long weekends away, or during vacations, although we bet that your office mates will love them so much, they’ll be lining up to help take care of it!
