LIVE PLANT 2ft RARE Homalomena Rubescens Variegated Variegata

Description: The plant I ship is about 2-3 ft tall. Last photos are of one of actual plant A favorite among homeowners due to its resistance, beauty, and low maintenance. The variegated Homalomena Rubescens has gained huge popularity in a very short time, given the fact that despite being a hybrid, its variegation is stable and continuous. They have a high tolerance for low light areas Light For best growth, the plant should be positioned where it gets medium, indirect, and dappled light, especially during its growing season. It'll still survive in low light conditions, but just be aware that it'll slow the growth rate down considerably. The key thing is to ensure they don't have extended periods in direct sun or the leaves will become faded, yellow, and scorched. Soil Homalomena has a preference for light, loamy, well-drained, fertile, acidic soils or mediums. Potting mixes that contain peat moss ensure good drainage. Be sure to use a pot with large drainage holes. Water Proper watering is vital. Too much moisture makes the plant susceptible to root rot and yellow leaves, while insufficient moisture causes the leaves to fade. The trick is to let the soil dry on the top inch or so before giving the plant a drink. Water slowly until it comes out of the drainage holes. Any excess water in the saucer or tray should be removed to prevent the roots from sitting in standing water. During the plant's growth period in the spring and summer, it needs more moisture than during the winter dormancy. Ensuring that the water temperature is lukewarm rather than cold also contributes to good plant health. Temperature and Humidity Given their tropical origins, unsurprisingly, homalomena like warmth and humidity. If they're exposed to prolonged cold temperatures or draughts, their leaves will turn yellow, and they'll eventually die. The plants are not suitable for room temperatures below 50 degrees F; they thrive at temperatures above 70 degrees F during the day and 60 degrees F at night. If your home has a dry rather than humid heat, use a pebble tray filled with water or mist the plants once a week, which helps to prevent brown tips and keep the humidity levels up. To prevent stains on the leaves, wipe them dry with a soft sponge. Fertilizer that I include as an option is an excellent choice for professional growers or nurseries if you grow plant in a pot. I personally use it for all my plants. It has polymer coating to allow slow release during 8-9 months evenly. You don't have to worry about repotting the plant for about 1 year or worry about burning plant with your regular over the counter fertilizer. You need about 3-4oz per 3 gal pot or 4-5oz per 5 gal pot.
