    Key Features:

     

    1. Foliage: Large, glossy, heart-shaped leaves with a deep green base, often marbled or streaked with light green or cream variegation.

     

     

    2. Growth Habit: Upright and bushy, forming a dense, compact plant.

     

     

    3. Size: Typically grows to about 30-60 cm (12-24 inches) tall and wide, making it suitable for tabletops or as a floor plant.

     

     

     

    Care Tips:

     

    1. Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

     

     

    2. Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.

     

     

    3. Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity levels (50-70%). Use a humidifier, mist occasionally, or place near a pebble tray to maintain humidity.

     

     

    4. Temperature: Enjoys warm temperatures between 18-26°C (65-80°F). Protect it from cold drafts and temperatures below 15°C (59°F).

     

     

    5. Soil: Requires well-draining soil. A mix of potting soil, peat, and perlite ensures proper drainage and aeration.

     

     

    6. Fertilizer: Feed with a diluted liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in the fall and winter.

     

     

    7. Pruning: Remove yellow or damaged leaves to encourage healthy growth and maintain the plant's appearance.

     

     

     

    Additional Notes:

     

    Pests: Generally pest-resistant but may occasionally encounter spider mites, mealybugs, or aphids. Wipe leaves regularly and inspect for pests.

     

    Propagation: Propagation is typically done through division during repotting. Gently separate the root clumps and plant them in fresh soil.

     

    Toxicity: Mildly toxic to pets and humans if ingested, causing irritation or discomfort.

     

     

    Homalomena 'Selby' is an attractive, low-maintenance plant that brings a touch of tropical elegance to any home or office. Its lush, variegated leaves make it a beautiful focal point while its easy-care nature ensures it thrives with minimal effort.
