Aglaonema 'Cutlass' is an elegant indoor Aglaonema with narrow, lance-shaped leaves and silver-green marbling that gives the plant a lighter, more linear look than broader-leaved varieties. The name 'Cutlass' suits the leaf shape perfectly, with slender blade-like foliage softened by silvery markings and green edges. At around 50 cm tall, it has enough presence for a low cabinet, console, kitchen counter or bright corner, without visually weighing down the room. It prefers a warm indoor environment, bright indirect light to gentle partial shade, moderate watering and protection from cold draughts or substrate that stays constantly wet.
Place it indoors in bright indirect light to gentle partial shade, away from strong direct sun that can mark the leaves. Aglaonema 'Cutlass' can adapt to softer light, but its silver-green marbling looks cleaner when there is enough filtered brightness. Avoid cold draughts, very low temperatures and overly wet substrate. At around 50 cm tall, it works beautifully on a low cabinet, console, counter, in a bright corner or in a protected spot near a window without direct midday sun.
Composition goal: a clean indoor planting with narrow silver-green foliage, linear movement, filtered light, stable temperature and careful watering.
Taxonomic history: Aglaonema 'Cutlass' is a cultivated Aglaonema variety and belongs to the family Araceae. The genus Aglaonema includes evergreen, rhizomatous plants grown for decorative foliage, while 'Cutlass' stands out commercially for its narrow, lance-shaped leaves and silver-green marbling.
Place / habitat & distribution: The genus Aglaonema is naturally associated with tropical regions of Asia, from north-eastern India to New Guinea. Many species grow in the forest understory, in warm, protected environments with filtered light, organic substrate and steady but not stagnant moisture.
Naming: The name 'Cutlass' refers to a short curved blade and suits the narrow, lance-shaped leaves. This slender form makes the plant look more linear and airy than varieties with broader foliage.
Growth & appearance: 'Cutlass' grows with an upright, bushy habit and keeps an elegant look when given warmth, indirect light and correct watering. Flowering may occur, but it is secondary; the plant's ornamental value is mainly in its foliage.
