Aglaonema 'Matcha Lemon' is a bright, cheerful Chinese evergreen with broad, lance-shaped leaves splashed in fresh matcha-green and pale lemon-yellow tones. The variegation is soft and painterly rather than crisp, giving the plant a gentle, glowing appearance that lifts a room without feeling overstated. Aglaonemas are renowned for their tolerance of lower light and irregular watering, and 'Matcha Lemon' is no exception, making it an excellent choice for a bright hallway, office desk, or any spot that needs a hit of colour without demanding care.

Origins
Aglaonemas are native to the tropical and subtropical forests of Southeast Asia, with parent species. In the wild, they grow in shaded, consistently humid understorey conditions. 'Matcha Lemon' is a modern ornamental cultivar selected for its distinctive variegation.

Soil and Substrate
Aglaonemas prefer a rich, moisture-retentive yet well-draining substrate that supports their fibrous roots. Our Jungle Mix is perfectly suited to 'Matcha Lemon'. The peat-free blend of coco coir, bark, and perlite holds steady moisture without becoming waterlogged, encouraging healthy roots and lush, colourful new leaves.
