KEY FEATURES

HOW TO GROW HOMALOMENA HOUSEPLANTS

Just like most tropical plants, homalomena houseplants like warm humid spots in your home or office. Watch for brown tips or edges on the leaves, this will tell you the plant needs more humidity. It will tolerate low-light spots but likes to be in medium light. Make sure to water regularly but don’t soak the soil.

LIGHT

Homalomenas likes bright indirect light. They can tolerate lower light, but growth may slow significantly. If kept in direct sunlight, the foliage may burn.

WATERING

Allow the top 50% of the soil of your Homalomena to dry out between watering.

SOIL

Homalomenas love peat moss-based potting mix with added perlite to allow good drainage.
We suggest Fertilome Ultimate Potting Mix

FERTILIZER

Feed Homalomenas once a month during spring and summer with a general houseplant fertilizer diluted to half the recommended strength.
We suggest Schultz Plant Food Plus

TEMPERATURE

Homalomenas like average warmth between 65-85°.

HUMIDITY

Homalomenas will do well in average household humidity, but will appreciate added humidity from misting or adding a humidifier nearby.

IS IT PET FRIENDLY?

Like most houseplants, homalomenas are mildly toxic if eaten. They may cause some discomfort and vomiting when eaten. Keep away from animals and children.
