**Aglaonema Pictum Tricolor Care Tips:**

1. **Light:**

   - Provide bright, indirect light for the best coloration of the Aglaonema Pictum Tricolor. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, bright, filtered light enhances the variegation and overall health of the plant. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

2. **Soil:**

   - Use a well-draining potting mix. A blend of standard potting soil with added perlite or orchid bark ensures proper drainage and prevents root rot. This mix supports healthy root development and robust growth.

3. **Watering:**

   - Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry. Aglaonema Pictum Tricolor prefers to be kept on the drier side between waterings. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to allow excess water to escape and avoid waterlogged soil.

4. **Humidity:**

   - This plant prefers moderate to high humidity. Aim for a humidity level of 50-60% to keep the foliage lush and vibrant. In dry indoor environments, use a humidifier or place a humidity tray near the plant to maintain adequate moisture levels.

5. **Temperature:**

   - Maintain temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C) for optimal growth. The Aglaonema Pictum Tricolor is sensitive to cold drafts and sudden temperature changes, so keep it away from windows or doors that might expose it to cold air.

6. **Fertilization:**

   - Feed the plant with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce fertilization in the fall and winter when growth slows.

7. **Maintenance:**

   - Regularly clean the leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and keep its appearance pristine. Prune any leggy or damaged growth to encourage a fuller, bushier plant. Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant becomes root-bound, using fresh, well-draining potting mix.
