Homalomena is not a common household name, but once the news gets out about how easy this species is to care for, that might change! The variety 'Selby' has remarkable mottled foliage that gently displays varying degrees of green. The leathery leaves ovate-lanceolate leaves form from the center of the plant and arch outwards, developing into a well-rounded shape. This uncommon houseplant is relatively easy to care for as they are low light tolerant, but give them plenty of warmth and indirect sunlight during the growing season so they can produce new growth. If you see the foliage wilt, it's time to give it water. Overall, homalomena is similar in growth habit to an aglaonema, and they both have similar care requirements (minus the water requirements!).

 

An actual under-story plant, homalomena can tolerate lower light conditions in your home. Consider placing it where it receives more indirect light during the growing season for optimal growth. The difference between outdoor shade and low interior light is massive so try to give all of your indoor plants as much access to natural light as humanly possible! That said, they should be kept away from hot direct light as the leaves may scorch.

It is important to keep homalomena well watered during its active growing period, but be sure to let the water drain from the pot after watering to prevent root rot. Cut way back on watering during the winter months and allow the soil to dry out partially between watering.

You may need to transplant your homalomena every year or so, depending on how fast it grows. We recommend using a soil mixture that is rich in organic matter, has good drainage, and is light and loose. Most bagged potting soil will be fine, but avoid potting mixes that contain moisture retaining crystals, and they can keep the soil wet for long periods, which can cause root damage.

Temperatures between 60-90℉ are ideal, and they can withstand temps as low as 40℉. However, these tropical houseplants love warmer conditions, so the warmer, the better!

Homalomena prefer high humidity, so place this houseplant in a spot that has a lot of moisture in the air. Keep in mind that in many areas, winter air can be dry, so the plant may need a helpful boost from a humidifier or a pebble tray with water to help increase the dampness and offset a dry environment.

To encourage leaf and root development, fertilize homalomena twice a month during the growing season with a complete liquid fertilizer at diluted to 1/4 the recommended strength. Do not fertilize during the winter, or when there is no active growth.

Great shelf
Color: Greige, Size: 6 Tier(10.7 x 15 x 65.3 Inches), Color: Greige, Size: 6 Tier(10.7 x 15 x 65.3 Inches)
Very impressed with this! It was very easy for me to put together without any help. Very sturdy pieces and seems well made. Really can’t beat the quality for the price! The glass door on the bottom really dresses up this shelf. I will probably buy more of these for other rooms in my house.

Elegant shelf, easy assembly!
Color: White, Size: 4 Tier(10.7 x 15 x 40.8 Inches), Color: White, Size: 4 Tier(10.7 x 15 x 40.8 Inches)
I almost returned this because I didn’t think I could put it together, but the step by step picture instructions were easy to follow, and I assembled this in about 50 minutes, taking my time and also wiping down each wood piece so it would be ready to go once finished. This came packed very well and no parts were missing or messed up. It’s very elegant looking for being inexpensive and just what I needed budget wise and style wise. It is sturdy and beautiful and I like it very much and am glad I kept it, it is worth it!

Very easy to put together. Lightweight, great for what I was looking for. Holds a lot of books and perfect for me. I didn't want a heavy clunky bookcase.

Nice shelving unit
This is a nice addition to our home. It is space saving and looks nice with a few special art pieces on it for display. It is not very sturdy but we put some nice coffee table books in the bottom compartment. Problem solved! We are really enjoying the upgrade! Thank you!

My 2nd purchase
This my second purchase of this unit. I believe I rated my first one 4 stars. Unfortunately, this one gets 3 stars. It does go together quickly. And when assembled it does look nice. But, don't look close. Paint is super thin. And this unit was not "machined" quite as well. And one of the legs was split. Fortunately, I have a "handyman" that was able to use wood glue and a vice for a quick repair. I don't use this for "storage" per say, but more for my a display of my farmhouse antiques. When I purchase something, I do expect it to be in near perfect condition and not have to do a DIY home repair! With so many businesses closing on a daily basis, and more online shopping being done by consumers, the quality of online shopping needs to be paid attention to since there is no hands on visual. Value for what I paid...it could drop in price about 10 bucks. Would I recommend? I don't know. I just know that to box this back up and return it would have been a headache!
