Homalomena Shelby

Homalomena Selby is a beautiful and interesting plant to grow. As a native of tropical regions in Asia and South America, it is likely to prefer warm, humid conditions and bright, indirect light.

It is important to keep the soil evenly moist, but not soggy, and to water the plant when it exhibits "dramatic" behavior, such as wilting or crumpling of the leaves, to indicate that it is thirsty. Be sure to use a well-draining soil mix and avoid over-watering, as this can lead to root rot. It is also a good idea to fertilize the plant with a balanced fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) to promote healthy growth.
