Aglaonema 'Cintho King'

Aglaonema 'Cintho King' grows larger than many compact Chinese evergreens, with long green leaves marked by pale silver-green centres and deeper green margins. Firm petioles lift the foliage above the pot, giving the plant a wide, upright outline.

The larger leaves and rounded crown need more space than compact tabletop Aglaonema cultivars. It gradually builds height and width as new leaves rise from the short crown.

Cintho King size and leaf pattern

  • Fuller medium-sized Aglaonema with upright, bushy growth
  • Large lance-shaped leaves with silver-green centres and darker edges
  • Pale petioles that hold the foliage clearly above the pot
  • Rounded crown that gains width as new leaves form
  • Filtered light reduces scorch marks, and measured watering keeps the lower roots from sitting wet

Large leaves and upright structure

Aglaonema 'Cintho King' develops broad, elongated blades with a central silver-green field following the midrib. The stems stay short while the foliage supplies most of the plant’s height and spread.

Aglaonema is a tropical Asian aroid genus from warm, shaded forest habitats. Indoors, stable warmth keeps the petioles firm, filtered light reduces scorch marks, and a draining root zone prevents the lower roots from staying wet.

Older basal leaves may fade as fresh growth forms above them. Removing ageing leaves cleanly at the base keeps airflow around the lower stems and leaves room for new growth.

Care needs for Aglaonema 'Cintho King'

  • Light: Place in bright filtered light or steady medium light. Large pale areas mark easily in harsh sun, especially close to south-facing glass.
  • Watering: Water thoroughly once the top few centimetres of substrate feel dry. A larger plant often needs slower watering so the root ball moistens evenly.
  • Substrate: Use a free-draining foliage mix with fine bark, coco coir or peat-free fibre, plus perlite, pumice or other mineral particles.
  • Drainage: Keep the plant in a pot with drainage holes and remove standing water after watering. A stable outer pot can help balance the larger leaves.
  • Temperature: Maintain 18–26 °C so new leaves keep emerging and petioles stay firm. Keep the pot away from cold floors, draughty doors and cold window glass.
  • Humidity: Moderate humidity reduces stuck folds, torn edges and crinkling on new leaves, especially in dry heated rooms.
  • Feeding: Use a balanced houseplant fertiliser at reduced strength during active growth. Too much fertiliser can brown the leaf edges and damage fine root tips.
  • Repotting: Repot when the plant becomes top-heavy, roots circle the pot or the substrate breaks down. Repot during active growth so new root tips replace damaged ones more quickly.
  • Pruning: Remove old yellowing leaves at the base so damp leaf material does not sit against the lower stems. Very tall stems can be cut and rooted as node cuttings.
  • Acclimation: After shipping or a major move, warmth and filtered light help new leaves start emerging again, while checking the root ball before watering keeps stressed roots from sitting wet.
  • Propagation: Division is easiest on mature clumps with several shoots. Each section needs roots and an active crown.
  • Semi-hydro substrates: Plants with firm active roots adapt more safely to mineral substrates; weak or damaged roots can rot during transition. Keep the reservoir low at first and check for soft, brown or sour-smelling roots during the transition.

Cintho King stress signals

  • Dark soft patches after cold exposure: Move the plant to stable warmth and keep the substrate on the drier side until the damaged areas are clear.
  • Yellowing lower leaves: Check the leaf age first. Multiple yellow leaves together point to wet substrate, poor drainage or a cold root zone.
  • Brown tips and margins: Review watering pattern, fertiliser concentration and humidity. Large leaves brown at the tips and margins quickly when watering, humidity or fertiliser strength changes sharply.
  • Leaning crown: Rotate the pot regularly and check whether the plant has become root-bound or top-heavy.
  • Sticky marks or fine webbing: Inspect petiole bases and undersides for pests. Clean the leaves and isolate the plant before treatment.

Handling the larger crown

Leave enough space around Aglaonema 'Cintho King' for the broad blades to spread. Wipe dust from the leaf surface and remove ageing foliage at the base so crowded leaves do not trap damp, hidden debris near the stems.

Cintho King safety note

Keep Aglaonema 'Cintho King' away from pets and small children. The leaves and stems contain insoluble calcium oxalate crystals, which can irritate the mouth, tongue and throat if plant tissue is eaten. Gloves are sensible when pruning or dividing if your skin is sensitive to aroid sap.

Very good, entertaining mystery.
Format: Mass Market Paperback
I don't know if this author has written other books before beginning this series but it is a very good FIRST in what is so far just a 3 book series. I ordered all 3 but am reading them in order as I always do. The author tends to go into too much detail about mundane things about things like fixing a meal, etc., but it isn't too distracting from the story. I like a little hominess but this is overdone just a tad. The story moved right along establishing characters without throwing in so many that you simply can't keep them all straight as some authors do. A thoroughly despicable victim so nobody cares if he dies violently. And, to me, a reeeely surprise ending. For someone who has read as many mysteries as I have, this was a pleasant surprise and the author doesn't give you hints till you are almost at the reveal so that you feel clever at figuring it out but you don't figure it out too early and you are still a bit surprised that you were "right" about who did it. Also, the "hero" is a thoroughly likeable guy. Don't you hate it when the "hero" or "heroine" just comes across as someone you don't really like much. You know, the one that if he or she gets beat up, you sort of feel like they deserved it and you've not really sorry. Well, if something bad had happened to "Charlie" I'd have been very upset. Now, if #2 will just show up I'll get on with the series. This is a series I'll be keeping in my library to reread in a couple of years.

OK book
Format: Kindle
I read this for our book club, got the book on Kindle, so the "back of the book" description was not there...It took me a while to get into the book. I'm used to female lead characters, and I had to adjust for the lead character to be Mr. Charlie. The manners shown by the characters are a bit dated, by about 40 years, but it's nice to be re-exposed to good manners. Loved Deisel the cat, but whenever he's mentioned (which is a lot) it tells he's a cat. That got to be old, fast. Otherwise, it was a good book, quick read. I was rather shocked to learn that Miranda James is just a pen name for a male writer.

A cat, a murdered author, and a librarian cum sleuth - what more do you need?
Format: Kindle
Murder Past Due has it all. A small town where everyone knows everyone, return of the prodigal son, murder, and a just-nosy-enough archivist with connections to them all. My favorite character is Diesel, the cat, though his primary role is as a comforting presence. I would have been happy with more of a supporting role for him—there were a few moments where I thought he would get one, but it didn’t quite take off. The mystery engaged me and kept me reading. I had it nearly figure out in the last fifty pages, but there were satisfying twists leaving me pleasantly surprised right up to the end. I was distracted by excess verbiage (Southern style?), and something ever so flat about the main character. He said he was surprised or upset or missed certain people, but I just didn’t feel it. Still, I think I will read book two, and that merits a solid four stars.

The cat didn't do it!
Format: Mass Market Paperback
I bought the book, because it looked so cute. Plus, I love cats! It was a cozy mystery with the cat as a constant companion of the protagonist. It made for a delightful story. I don't usually read low key mysteries, but I thoroughly enjoyed the humor, the cat, and the murder mystery. I plan on buying the next one. Ms. James has a writing style that you will enjoy her stories. You will not get bored.
