In the garden
Aglaonema Lemon Mint ('Supag2203') is a clump-forming member of the Araceae, offered primarily for indoor and glasshouse display where its green-and-pink variegation is readily seen. It is sold for use as a houseplant or in conservatory and greenhouse situations and has seasonal interest through spring and summer.Habitat and siting should favour partial shade; position the plant where it receives bright, indirect light rather than strong sun. South- or west-facing glasshouses and sheltered interior rooms suit it well, provided the site is protected from drafts and frost.Soil should be a free-draining loam-based or sandy mix. The plant accepts a broad soil pH range — acid to alkaline — but does need substrate that drains; avoid heavy, waterlogged compost. Keep the plant in a sheltered spot and under glass in colder months, reflecting its H1a tender rating.Potted specimens work well on benches or as tabletop accents in a conservatory, and the clump-forming habit keeps the plant compact. Expect the variegated crown of leaves to remain the main feature through spring and summer when maintained in a sheltered, south- or west-facing position.
