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 enough to create a dense young plant. As new basal shoots develop, the crown becomes fuller while the overall shape stays neat indoors.

Aglaonema 'Lipstick Green' green-leaf notes

• 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
• Warm-room Aglaonema for filtered light and even moisture

Pale petioles, slim leaves and compact growth

Aglaonema 'Lipstick Green' is a cultivated Aglaonema selected for its narrow leaf shape, green blades and light-toned stems. It grows from short stems and side shoots, gradually filling the pot from the base.

The foliage sits on firm petioles and forms a layered crown as the plant matures. The narrow leaves give young plants a crisp outline.

Care points 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 zone evenly moist, 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 avoid water standing in the cover pot after watering.
• Temperature: Maintain 18–27 °C. Cold marks can appear after exposure to draughts, cold floors or winter windowsills.
• Humidity: Moderate indoor humidity is suitable. Very dry air can make new tips open tightly.
• Feeding: Feed at low strength every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer. 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, edge and growth checks

• 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. Flush the substrate and move the plant to steadier conditions.
• 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.
