Aglaonema ‘Cutlass’, a cultivated Chinese evergreen from Southeast Asian lineage, is known for its long, narrow, blade-like leaves with a soft silver center and dark green edges. What makes this plant special is its unique, slender leaf shape compared to broader aglaonemas, giving it a more airy, architectural look while still staying full and upright. The silver pattern runs cleanly down the center, adding contrast without heavy variegation.

Light supports both structure and pattern clarity. Place it in an east or north-facing window where it gets steady, gentle light without direct sun hitting the leaves. Under grow lights, use 5000K–6500K placed 10–14 inches from the top of the plant. Too much direct sun can scorch or wash out the silver tones, while too little light will reduce contrast and cause the plant to open up and lose its tight form.

Watering should stay moderate and consistent. Allow the soil to partially dry out between waterings, then water thoroughly and let it drain. Use a mix of succulent soil, perlite, and orchid bark to keep it airy while holding some moisture. If new leaves are coming in with less defined silver and more green, it is not getting enough light. If the plant begins to lean or spread out, it is reaching for more light. Yellowing leaves with soft stems point to excess moisture at the roots rather than underwatering.
