Photographs are representative of the species and not always of the specific plant shipped. Normal variations in size, pruning and leaf structure may occur.

Light: Medium

Provide moderate to bright indirect light for optimal growth. Keep it near a window where it can receive ample natural light throughout the day.

Sun: Indirect

Homalomena Selby thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn.

Water: When half dry

Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Ensure proper drainage to prevent waterlogging, as Homalomena Selby prefers slightly moist but well-draining soil.

Humidity: Medium

Maintain moderate to high humidity levels, ideally between 50-70%. Consider using a humidifier or placing the plant on a pebble tray filled with water to increase humidity levels.

Pet Friendly: Caution

Homalomena Selby possesses moderate toxicity and may trigger adverse reactions if ingested, making it advisable to keep it out of reach of pets. While the severity of the reaction varies based on the quantity consumed, it's prudent to exercise caution with all plants around pets. If your pet typically avoids consuming plants, this one should be safe to have in your home.

Pro Tip

To encourage bushier growth, regularly pinch back the tips of the stems. This practice promotes branching and helps maintain a compact and lush appearance for your Homalomena Selby plant.
