Aglaonema Cutlass

Aglaonema ‘Cutlass’ wields sleek, lance-shaped foliage in silvery-green blades edged with deep emerald… Hence the name! This robust indoor evergreen is ideal for anyone craving architectural greenery that stays effortlessly poised in modern or traditional decor.

The Aglaonema ‘Cutlass’ features 40 to 60cm tall stems crowned by long, narrow leaves that project upward in an elegant fan. Each leaf sports a pale, silvery-green interior streaked with darker veins and margins. Its upright habit complements contemporary, mid-century and transitional interiors alike. Showcase it on plant stands beside sofas, on office desks under pendant lights, or in a decorative ceramic pot on a console. Its refined form also works beautifully grouped in a low planter for dining tables or windowsills.

Indoors, the Aglaonema ‘Cutlass’ typically reaches 60 to 90cm in height and spreads 40 to 60cm, forming a bushy clump. Its growth rate is moderate, with new leaves emerging every 6 to 8 weeks during spring and summer. It remains self-supporting without the need for staking. But it can be gently trimmed to control size. Start in a 12 cm pot and upgrade to 15 to 18cm pots as roots fill out. Repot every 2 to 3 years to maintain healthy growth without overwhelming the space.

The Aglaonema ‘Cutlass’ thrives in bright, indirect light. It also tolerates lower light with only slight color fading. An east- or north-facing window behind sheer curtains offers ideal conditions. It also adapts to fluorescent office lighting, making it perfect for workspaces or hallways. Outdoors, it can live on a shaded patio in temperatures above 12°C. Rotate the plant monthly to promote even leaf display and prevent lopsided growth.

This plant is considered easy to care for. Water when the top 3cm of soil dries (usually once a week in spring and summer). Use a well-draining mix rich in peat and perlite in a pot with drainage holes. Feed monthly during active growth with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Keep away from pets and children because all parts contain calcium oxalate crystals and can irritate if ingested. Avoid overwatering and cold drafts to prevent root rot and leaf damage.

The Aglaonema ‘Cutlass’ isn’t just a showpiece. It purifies indoor air by filtering benzene and formaldehyde (and that’s according to NASA research!). Its striking form lends a sense of calm and focus, making it an ideal companion in home offices and meditation nooks. Studies show that simply gazing at lush foliage can reduce cortisol levels and enhance concentration by up to 15%. By raising local humidity, it also soothes dry air, supporting respiratory comfort and skin hydration in heated or air-conditioned rooms.
