Light:

• Moderate to Low Light: Place your Homalomena Red Stem in moderate to low, indirect sunlight. It thrives in lower light conditions, making it suitable for spaces with filtered light. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

Temperature:

• Warm Temperatures: Maintain a temperature range between 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C). Homalomena Red Stem prefers warm, stable temperatures and should be protected from drafts.

Humidity:

• Moderate to High Humidity: Homalomena Red Stem appreciates moderate to high humidity. Increase humidity by misting the plant regularly, placing a tray of water nearby, or using a humidifier.

Watering:

• Consistent Moisture: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch (2.5 cm) of the soil feels slightly dry. Ensure proper drainage to prevent overwatering and root rot.

Soil:

• Well-Draining Mix: Plant your Homalomena Red Stem in a well-draining potting mix. A mix formulated for tropical plants with good aeration is suitable.

Container:

• Regular Feeding: Feed your Homalomena Red Stem with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Dilute the fertilizer to half the recommended strength.

Pruning:

• Maintenance Pruning: Trim back leggy or excessively long stems to encourage bushier growth. Remove any yellow or damaged leaves to maintain the plant’s appearance.
