Care

General Maintenance: You may need to transplant your homalomena every year or so, depending on how fast it grows. Homalomena prefer high humidity, so place this houseplant in a spot that has a lot of moisture in the air.

Temperature: Temperatures between 60-90? are ideal.

Light: The homalomena can tolerate lower light conditions in your home. Consider placing it where it receives more indirect light during the growing season for optimal growth. The difference between outdoor shade and low interior light is massive so try to give all of your indoor plants as much access to natural light as humanly possible! That said, they should be kept from direct light as the leaves may scorch.

Watering: It is important to keep homalomena well watered during its active growing period but be sure to let the water drain from the pot after watering to prevent root rot. Cut way back on watering during the winter months and allow the soil to dry out partially between watering.

Soil: A soil mixture that is rich in organic matter, has good drainage, and is light and loose will keep your homalomena happy.

Fertilizer: To encourage leaf and root development, fertilize homalomena twice a month during the growing season with a complete liquid fertilizer at diluted to 1/4 the recommended strength. Do not fertilize during the winter, or when there is no active growth.
