Care Plan for Homalomena Variegated

1. Light

   • Thrives in bright, indirect light.
   • Avoid direct sunlight, as it may scorch the variegated leaves.

2. Temperature & Humidity

   • Prefers a warm environment, ideally 18–30°C.
   • High humidity (60–80%) promotes lush growth. Consider using a humidifier or misting the plant regularly.

3. Watering

   • Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy.
   • Allow the top 2–3 cm of soil to dry out before watering. Overwatering can lead to root rot.

4. Soil

   • Use a well-draining, nutrient-rich potting mix. A blend with peat, perlite, and compost works well.

5. Fertiliser

   • Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).

6. Repotting

   • Repot every 1–2 years or when the plant outgrows its pot. Choose a container with drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
