GENERAL INFORMATION
- Homalomena, native to tropical Asia and South America, is an upright plant with dark green/light green, spade-shaped leaves.
- Since these plants are usually about 12″-30″ tall, it makes them ideal for areas with height restrictions.
- Although the plant is a relative of the easy-care philodendron, it is a bit more finicky and requires more attention.
- However, if you are tired of the same old houseplants, an Homalomena army plant makes a nice addition to your plant collection.
SOIL REQUIREMENT
- Use a quick-draining, loose soil, containing plenty of peat moss, perlite, and hard sand for an Homalomena army Plant.
- This type of soil helps prevent an Homalomena army Plant from getting root rot.
