Aglaonema pictum 'Tricolor'

With leaves that feature a uniquely mixed look of light, medium, and dark green shades, it's not too surprising that this Aglaonema variety is sought after.  

"The camouflage appearance of the leaves makes it a real crowd-pleaser," Oakes says.

While considered fairly easy to grow, they also grow slowly, which increases the difficulty of coming across one of these eye-catching beauties.  

"Aglaonema cannot be reproduced successfully through tissue culture," Oakes says, "So there aren't many of these on the market, which drives up the price,"

Oakes says she purchased her back in 2016 for only $39. Nowadays, she's seen some people pay somewhere between $100 to $200.
