Aglaonema 'Lemon Mint'

Aglaonema 'Lemon Mint'

Pale lemon-yellow, mint-green and silver-green tones share the leaf surface in Aglaonema 'Lemon Mint'. The glossy leaves show pale lemon, mint and silver-green sections with deeper green areas between them.

The plant forms a compact to medium upright clump with narrow oval to lance-shaped leaves. Its slimmer leaf shape gives the plant a lighter, more vertical outline.

Aglaonema 'Lemon Mint' pale colour mix

• Leaf colour: Lemon-yellow, mint-green, pale silver-green and deeper green sections appear across the same leaf.
• Leaf finish: Smooth, glossy leaves show the pale pattern clearly under filtered light.
• Leaf shape: Narrow oval to lance-shaped leaves create a tidy upright profile.
• Growth habit: Short stems build a self-standing clump for indoor pot culture.
• Pattern variation: Individual leaves can carry different amounts of lemon, mint and green marking.

Aglaonema 'Lemon Mint' leaf shape and clump

Aglaonema 'Lemon Mint' develops from the centre outward, with fresh leaves rising above older outer foliage. A coarse draining mix leaves air around the lower stems after watering and helps protect the compact base.

The pale yellow and mint areas can brown when exposed to harsh sun. Bright filtered light gives the plant enough light for shorter petioles while reducing scorch risk on the pale sections.

Aglaonema 'Lemon Mint' care routine

• Light: Place Aglaonema 'Lemon Mint' in bright filtered to medium indirect light. Avoid direct sun on the pale leaf sections.
• Watering: Water when the upper part of the potting mix has dried. Empty cover pots after watering so the roots stay aerated.
• Substrate: Choose a draining mix with coarse structure. Dense, fine soil can hold too much moisture around the stems.
• Temperature: Keep the root zone warm and away from draughts. Cold roots can slow new growth and increase wet-root stress.
• Humidity: Moderate indoor humidity is usually enough, though very dry air can crisp new leaf edges.
• Feeding: Use a diluted houseplant fertiliser during active growth. Flush the pot occasionally if salts collect in the substrate.

Aglaonema 'Lemon Mint' warning signs

• Brown lemon-yellow patches: Usually point to direct sun, heat near glass or uneven watering.
• Yellowing leaves: Check for a potting mix that stays wet too long, especially in cooler rooms.
• Dull new growth: Very dim placement can stretch the plant and produce weaker leaves.
• Crisp edges: Dry air, missed waterings or a high-mineral substrate can affect the leaf edge first.
• Soft lower stems: Cold wet roots can cause the base to weaken quickly.

Aglaonema 'Lemon Mint' safety

Aglaonema 'Lemon Mint' contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals. Place it out of reach of pets and small children, as chewed plant tissue can irritate the mouth and throat and may cause drooling, vomiting or swallowing discomfort.
