Aglaonema ‘Flying Squid’ is an unusual cultivated Aglaonema known for its narrow, elongated foliage and graceful, arching growth habit. Unlike the broad leaves associated with many Aglaonema, its slender blades emerge from the center of the plant and curve outward and downward, creating a loose, almost fountain-like form. The foliage develops in rich shades of green, with mature leaves becoming increasingly elongated as the plant establishes.

This selection grows as a compact, clumping plant and gradually produces multiple stems from the base, creating a fuller display over time. It performs well in bright, indirect to moderate light and prefers evenly moist but well-draining soil, warm stable temperatures, and moderate humidity. Its unusual leaf shape and relaxed growth habit make ‘Flying Squid’ a distinctive choice for collectors looking beyond traditional Aglaonema forms.
