Homalomena Maggy | 17cm Pot

A tropical houseplant with large, heart-shaped leaves and pinky-orange stems. Position: bright, indirect light Soil: good potting compost Rate of growth: average Hardiness: tender (indoors only) Current height: approximately 40cm (+ or – 10% including the pot) Pot cover: choose an 18cm pot cover to give a good fit over the pot Large, heart-shaped leaves borne on slender, pinky-orange arching stems. This lesser-known relative of the philodendron makes for an unusual, eye-catching tabletop houseplant or those seeking to extend their jungle-themed collection of tropical plants. ‘Maggy’ enjoys indirect light and a humid environment mimicking the forest floor of its native Southeast Asia. Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from. Home care: Originating from tropical regions, they like relatively stable temperatures (ideally above 15°C) and a well-lit position that does not get direct sunlight (think steamy jungle!). They like to be kept well watered, although this can be cut back a little in winter, and they thrive in high humidity, so either grow it in a steamy room, mist it with water regularly, and/or sit the pot on a tray of dampened shingle.
