Aglaonema 'Coco Melon'

The Aglaonema ‘Coco Melon’ forms a bushy rosette of matte-textured leaves 20 to 35cm long, each blade punctuated by a vivid pink midrib and scattered golden speckles. Its compact, upright habit suits a variety of decor. Go from vibrant eclectic schemes to sleek industrial lofts with ease! Place it on console tables, stack it on bookshelf ledges, or pair it with pastel ceramics on a nightstand. Its lively foliage also shines under indirect light in bathrooms and hallways, instantly lifting dull corners with a splash of color.

The Aglaonema ‘Coco Melon’ grows to 40 to 60cm tall and wide indoors, producing new leaves every 6–8 weeks during the growing season. It remains a neat, clumping perennial, requiring no staking or training. Start in a 12cm pot and repot to 15 to 18cm when roots emerge from drainage holes. The Aglaonema ‘Coco Melon’ grows at a moderate rate. That makes it a perfect tabletop or floor-level showpiece without taking up smaller spaces.

The Aglaonema ‘Coco Melon’ thrives in bright, indirect light that encourages its vivid pink variegation. In lower light, its colors may soften but it remains healthy. An east-facing window with diffused sun is ideal, though it tolerates standard office fluorescents. Outdoors, situate it on a covered balcony away from direct sun to prevent leaf scorch. Rotate monthly for balanced color distribution and an even canopy.

The Aglaonema ‘Coco Melon’ only needs watering when the top 2 to 3cm of soil feels dry. That should be around once a week during the hotter seasons and bi-weekly for the cooler ones. Use a loose, well-draining mix of peat, perlite and orchid bark. Feed every 4 to 6 weeks during active growth with a balanced liquid fertilizer. And keep away from pets and children! Ingestion may irritate mucous membranes, which is never fun. Avoid waterlogged soil and sunlit windowsills that expose leaves to harsh midday rays.

Beyond its eye-catching color, ‘Coco Melon’ contributes to a healthier indoor environment by absorbing toxins like benzene and formaldehyde. Its vibrant presence boosts mood and creativity, perfect for playrooms and creative studios. Interacting with colorful plants has also been shown to reduce stress and elevate energy levels. So, position it near your workspace to spark joy or in bedrooms to create a positive atmosphere before sleep. Its subtle transpiration also adds gentle humidity, softening dry air and supporting respiratory comfort.
