● From Jungle Floor to Living Room: Its Story


‘Cleopatra’ originates from breeding selections of Aglaonema commutatum, a species native to Asia’s tropical understories. These environments shaped its ability to thrive in dappled light and consistent warmth. Today, this cultivar brings the same lush calm into homes and offices, thriving even in spots where most tropicals falter.

● How to Keep That Signature Look


Light: Bright, indirect light is best, but tolerates low light without losing pattern
Water: Moderate — let the top 2 cm dry before the next watering (every 7 – 10 days)
Soil: Use a light mix with peat and perlite for airflow; keep slightly acidic (pH 6.0 – 6.5)
Temperature: 20 – 25 °C ideal; protect from drafts and cold below 15 °C
Humidity: Prefers 60%+; achieve this with a room humidifier or grouped display. Avoid misting and pebble trays — they provide little benefit and can cause fungal issues.
Feeding: Balanced liquid fertilizer every 2 – 3 weeks in active months
Repotting: Refresh soil every 2 – 3 years; choose pots with good drainage
 
● Troubles You Can Avoid


Pale Leaves: Often a sign of too little light — move closer to a window
Crisp Edges: Increase humidity using safe methods or switch to filtered water
Pests: Mealybugs and scale occasionally appear — wipe and treat early
 
● Name Origins and Historical Flair


The genus name Aglaonema blends Greek roots aglaos (bright) and nema (thread), alluding to its stamens. The cultivar name ‘Cleopatra’ reflects its refined, ornamental character — fit for interiors that value detail and luxury.
