Aglaonema 'Emerald Stone'

Aglaonema 'Emerald Stone' is a marbled Chinese evergreen with upright clumping growth. Broad leaves sit in green and silver-green tones, with patterning spread across the blade.

New leaves rise from the centre and layer over older growth as the plant fills its pot. Upright stems and petioles keep the plant compact, while darker and lighter areas create a marbled blade surface.

Aglaonema 'Emerald Stone' green-silver marbling

• Leaf colour: The foliage sits around green, silver-green and paler green tones.
• Pattern: Green and silver-green marbling spreads across the leaf surface.
• Leaf form: Broad lanceolate to elliptic leaves sit on upright petioles.
• Midrib: A visible central vein runs through the marbled blade.
• Habit: Upright stems and petioles keep the plant steady in a container.
• Pot behaviour: The clump becomes denser from the centre as new leaves emerge.

Aglaonema 'Emerald Stone' container structure

Aglaonema 'Emerald Stone' grows as a central clump, with fresh leaves rising upward from short stems. The pot should leave enough room for petioles to open without crowding the leaf edges.

Pale marbling can brown under harsh sun, while yellowing leaves or soft stems can point to wet-root stress. Warm, filtered light and an airy substrate reduce the risk of scorched sections and heavy, airless mix around the roots.

Aglaonema 'Emerald Stone' care indoors

• Light: Keep it in filtered indirect light. Direct sun can scorch pale marbled sections.
• Water: Let the top layer of the mix begin to dry before watering again.
• Substrate: Choose an airy mix that holds light moisture while allowing oxygen around the roots.
• Temperature: Warm, stable indoor conditions are important. Cold wet roots can quickly cause damage.
• Humidity: Moderate humidity reduces dry edges as new leaves expand.
• Pot choice: Use a pot close to the root-ball size so excess wet mix does not sit around the clump.

Aglaonema 'Emerald Stone' common stress signs

• Yellow lower leaves: Often linked to substrate that remains wet for too long.
• Soft stems: A cold or saturated root zone can weaken the plant at the base.
• Scorched marbling: Pale green and silver-green areas can brown under direct sun.
• Brown tips: Dry air, salts in the substrate or uneven watering can mark the leaf ends.
• Weak new growth: Very low light can produce smaller leaves and longer petioles.

Aglaonema 'Emerald Stone' safety

Aglaonema 'Emerald Stone' contains irritating calcium oxalate crystals. Keep the plant out of reach of pets and children, and avoid contact with sap from cut or damaged tissue.

Aglaonema 'Emerald Stone' botanical note

Aglaonema belongs to Araceae, the arum family, and is cultivated widely as Chinese evergreen. Its genus name combines Greek roots for bright or clear and thread, referring to floral structure.
