Care information

*Aglaonema rotundum* ssp. *aceh* is a subspecies native to Aceh, Indonesia. It is known for its bold, dark green to nearly black leaves with striking pink midribs and venation. The foliage is thick and leathery, with an upright clumping habit that makes it stand out among *Aglaonema*. This subspecies is less common in cultivation and highly regarded for its dramatic contrast and compact form, making it well suited for terrariums, grow cabinets, or indoor tropical plant collections.

You will receive a **rooted plant**, grower’s choice. It will be similar in size and form to the one pictured but not the exact plant. Shipped bare-root or in moss depending on conditions.

**Light Requirements:** Moderate to bright, indirect light. Avoid harsh direct sun.
**Humidity Requirements:** High, 70–90%. Performs best in terrariums or greenhouse setups but can adapt to household humidity.
**Temperature Range:** 65–85°F (18–29°C). Keep above 60°F (16°C).
**Growth Habit:** Upright, clumping subspecies with dark foliage and pink venation.
**Soil:** Moist, well-draining tropical mix with organic matter and perlite.
**pH:** Slightly acidic, 5.5–6.5.
**Size:** Leaves typically 10–20 cm long; plant stays compact and clumping.

Plant Details
Airflow
Medium — Essential for "wetish" setups. Needs regular air exchange or internal circulation fans to prevent water from sitting on leaves, which helps avoid rot and fungal issues.
Family
Araceae
Growth strategy
Terrestrial
Humidity
60–80% — Suitable for "open-top" or partially ventilated terrariums. While higher than average household humidity, these plants are adaptable and less prone to leaf melt if the environment fluctuates slightly.
Lighting
Moderate — Prefers bright, filtered, or indirect light. This is the "sweet spot" for most terrarium species; however, direct sun or high-intensity LEDs will scorch delicate juvenile leaves.
PH
6.5–7.5 — Neutral: Suitable for hardy species that are less sensitive to water chemistry. This range is common in setups using tap water or inert substrates like clay pebbles and stones.
Sales form
Rooted
Size
Medium
Temperature
65–75°F — Ideal for "Cool-Growers" or highland species. These plants prefer the lower end of the tropical spectrum and may show signs of stress or heat-dropping leaves if temperatures consistently exceed 80°F.
Watering substrate
Damp — These plants love high moisture levels; the substrate should stay wet to the touch at all times but should not be sitting in a stagnant, waterlogged state.
World
Old World — Native to the Eastern Hemisphere: Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia, and surrounding islands.
