Care & tips for the Homalomena rubescens 'Maggy' - 40cm
The Homalomena rubescens 'Maggy' is a tough houseplant with strikingly marbled leaves that asks very little of you. It grows slowly, which makes it perfect if you're after something low-maintenance. Give it a draught-free spot and mist it now and then to raise the humidity around the plant. It can stay indoors all year round and is not hardy.
How much water does the Homalomena rubescens 'Maggy' - 40cm need?
This plant likes lightly moist potting soil. Let the top layer dry out briefly between waterings. Roots that stay too wet can start to rot, so don't let water sit in the pot.
How much light does the Homalomena rubescens 'Maggy' - 40cm need?
The Homalomena rubescens 'Maggy' does best in a spot with partial shade to plenty of indirect light. Direct sunlight can damage the leaves, so avoid fierce midday sun. In a bright room without direct sun, the leaf pattern really comes into its own.
Is the Homalomena rubescens 'Maggy' - 40cm toxic?
Yes, the Homalomena rubescens 'Maggy' is mildly toxic if swallowed. Keep that in mind if you have small children or pets.
