A tropical look in the perfect corner of your home.
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.
Homalomenas likes bright indirect light. They can tolerate lower light, but growth may slow significantly. If kept in direct sunlight, the foliage may burn.
Allow the top 50% of the soil of your Homalomena to dry out between watering.Â
Homalomenas love peat moss-based potting mix with added perlite to allow good drainage.
We suggest Fertilome Ultimate Potting Mix
Feed Homalomenas once a month during spring and summer with a general houseplant fertilizer diluted to half the recommended strength.

Homalomenas like average warmth between 65-85°.
Homalomenas will do well in average household humidity, but will appreciate added humidity from misting or adding a humidifier nearby.Â
Like most houseplants, homalomenas are mildly toxic if eaten. They may cause some discomfort and vomiting when eaten. Keep away from animals and children.

Hydrangeas do well in partially shaded areas like under a large tree or on the side of a house. They like to receive sun in the morning, and the partial shade is in the heat of the afternoon. In Colorado, too much full sun will cause them to get sunburned.
Hydrangea shrubs need to have well-draining soils that is rich in organic matter. Most Colorado soils will benefit from the addition of peat moss and compost that helps retain moisture. The pH determines the colors of the blooms. Acidic soil will give you blue flowers, and alkaline soil gives you pink flowers. Â
If hydrangea shrubs are given too much high-nitrogen fertilizer, they may grow full and lush, but there will be fewer flowers. If the soil is rich, fertilizer is not needed. Otherwise, a light application in March or April may be warranted.
Make sure to water your hydrangea shrubs regularly. Those big blooms require a lot of water to stay lush and full. About one inch of water throughout the week is ideal. If they receive more sun give them at least two inches during the hotter summer days.
