Aglaonema ‘Tigress’ is a bold Chinese Evergreen cultivar, known for its striking, tiger-like striping: glossy dark greens streaked with silvery or lighter green variegation. Its dramatic foliage gives a strong tropical style to interiors, while its resilient nature makes it well suited for almost any indoor space. Plant Details Common Name: Chinese Evergreen ‘Tigress’ Botanical Name: Aglaonema ‘Tigress’ Light: Prefers bright, indirect light—can tolerate medium to low light. Too much direct sun can burn or fade the variegation. Water: Allow the top portion of the soil (about 25-50%) to dry before watering thoroughly. Avoid waterlogging. Less frequent watering in cooler months. Soil: Use well-draining potting mix. Good drainage and aeration are especially important to prevent roots staying too wet. Temperature & Humidity: Best in warm indoor conditions (ideally ~65-80°F / 18-27°C). Protect from cold drafts and avoid letting the plant drop below about 60°F. Average household humidity works, though moderate to higher humidity helps foliage look its best. Growth Habit & Size: Upright, clump-forming plant. Mature size indoors varies; some sources say 2-3 ft (≈60-90 cm) tall by 1-2 ft (≈30-60 cm) wide in favorable conditions. Compact in smaller pots. Toxicity: Toxic if ingested. Keep out of reach of pets and children. Handle with care. Why ‘Tigress’ Makes a Great Choice Eye-catching foliage with strong contrast of dark and lighter greens, ideal for those looking for decorative leaf pattern Tolerates a variety of light conditions—good for spots with less natural light though its pattern is more vivid with brighter indirect light Low maintenance and forgiving: more prone to damage from over-watering than under-watering, so letting it dry slightly between drinks helps Great for desks, entryways, living rooms—adds texture, drama, and greenery without being overly large or demanding Quick Care Tips Rotate the plant occasionally so all sides receive light and growth stays even Wipe dust off leaves to help with photosynthesis and keep foliage vibrant Fertilize monthly during the growing season; reduce or stop fertilizing in fall and winter when growth slows
