Store whole honeydew melons at room temperature until ripe. Once ripe, or if you've cut into the melon, store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent it from absorbing other odors. Refrigerated cut honeydew will stay good for up to 3-5 days. Avoid storing near ethylene-producing fruits like bananas and apples, as this can accelerate ripening and spoilage.
