Aglaonema | Dang Monkol

Aglaonema Dang Monkol

The Aglaonema Dang Monkol is a rare Thai cultivar that has taken the collector world by storm. Its broad, glossy leaves are a breathtaking canvas of deep green richly flushed with vivid red — ‘Dang Monkol’ translating to ‘Red Jewel’ in Thai, and it truly lives up to the name.

Striking enough to be a centrepiece yet forgiving enough for everyday care, this is a plant that rewards you every time you walk past it.

Care Guide
