PRODUCT MEASUREMENT

GENERAL INFORMATION

An Emerald Gem plant or Homalomena, native to tropical Asia and South America, is an upright plant with dark green, waxy, spade-shaped leaves.
Since these plants are usually about 12″-30″ tall, it makes them ideal for areas with height restrictions.
Although the plant is a relative of the easy-care philodendron, it is a bit more finicky and requires more attention.
However, if you are tired of the same old houseplants, an Emerald Gem plant makes a nice addition to your plant collection.

SOIL REQUIREMENT

Use a quick-draining, loose soil, containing plenty of peat moss, perlite, and hard sand for an Emerald gem Plant.
This type of soil helps prevent an Emerald gem Plant from getting root rot.

FEEDING/FERTILIZER REQUIREMENT

Feed them monthly in the spring and summer when the plant is actively growing with a basic houseplant food at 1/2 the recommended strength.
In the fall and winter fertilize an Emerald Gem Plant every other month if the plant is producing new leaves.

LIGHT REQUIREMENT

It requires medium indirect light but grows even better in bright indirect light.
It can survive in low light but become thin and spindly and the bottom leaves will turn yellow and fall off when there is not enough light.

WATER REQUIREMENT

It is either over or under watered the bottom leaves fall off.
Always allow the top 50% of the soil to dry out before watering.
It doesn’t like anything cold, so use warm water and never dump extra ice cubes into the soil.
