Basic Care Guide for Homalomena ‘Pink Diamond’ Variegated:
1. Light: Needs bright, indirect sunlight. Direct exposure to sunlight can damage the leaves and cause the pink variegation to fade.
2. Water: Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. Ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot, as overwatering can be detrimental.
3. Humidity: Thrives in high humidity (60-70%). Use a humidifier or mist the plant regularly if your home is dry.
4. Temperature: Best kept at temperatures between 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C). Avoid cold drafts and temperatures below 55°F (13°C).
5. Soil: Use a well-draining, rich potting mix. Adding perlite or orchid bark helps improve aeration.
6. Fertilizer: Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Hold off fertilizing during fall and winter.
7. Pruning: Remove any yellow or dead leaves to promote growth and keep the plant looking its best.
8. Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years or when it outgrows its pot to refresh the soil and allow room for growth.
