Aglaonema 'Key Lime'

White petioles give Aglaonema 'Key Lime' a clear pale structure beneath the patterned leaf blades. Above them, pointed leaves carry yellow-green, grey-green and fresh green sections across the blade.

This cultivar grows into a fuller upright Aglaonema with a broader leaf mass as it matures. A stable pot helps balance the wider petiole structure once the clump starts spreading upward and outward.

Aglaonema 'Key Lime' white petioles and lime foliage

• Leaf colour: Green, yellow-green and grey-green sections create a bright patterned blade.
• Petiole detail: White petioles sit clearly below the leaf surface and add contrast at the base of each blade.
• Leaf shape: Long, pointed leaves rise upright and layer over each other as the plant develops.
• Growth habit: The clump can become wider and heavier as the white petioles and pointed leaves mature.
• Leaf pattern: Pale central markings and deeper green sections give the leaves clear definition away from direct sun.

Aglaonema 'Key Lime' growth in a pot

Aglaonema 'Key Lime' grows from short stems with firm, pale petioles that hold the leaves upright. Mature plants spread outward as new leaves open, so the plant needs enough pot stability for the wider top growth.

The white petioles and pale leaf sections mark quickly under direct sun. In very dim light, new petioles may stretch and leave wider gaps between the leaves.

Aglaonema 'Key Lime' care basics

• Light: Give Aglaonema 'Key Lime' bright filtered to medium indirect light. Direct sun can brown pale leaf sections.
• Watering: Water after the upper substrate has dried. Let excess water drain fully so the base of the stems does not sit wet.
• Substrate: Use a chunky, draining mix with enough moisture retention to keep watering even between dry-downs.
• Temperature: Keep roots warm and protect them from cold, wet substrate. Chilled roots can damage the lower stem area and soften petiole bases.
• Pot choice: Use a stable pot once the leaf mass becomes wider and heavier.
• Leaf care: Dust shows easily on pale petioles and patterned leaves, so occasional wiping keeps the surface clear.

Aglaonema 'Key Lime' problem signs

• Brown pale patches: Direct sun, heat stress or inconsistent watering can mark yellow-green leaf areas.
• Yellow lower leaves: Wet substrate around the lower stems is a common cause.
• Soft petioles: Check the root zone for cold, compacted or waterlogged conditions.
• Loose growth: Very low light can stretch the petioles and reduce the upright shape.
• Crisped tips: Dry air, missed waterings or mineral build-up can show first on the leaf tips.

Aglaonema 'Key Lime' toxicity note

Keep Aglaonema 'Key Lime' away from pets and small children. The plant contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals, so chewed leaves or stems can cause mouth irritation, drooling, vomiting and discomfort when swallowing.
