LIGHT
An Emerald Gem Plant requires medium indirect light but grows even better in bright indirect light. Homalomenas can survive in low light but become thin and spindly. The bottom leaves of an Emerald Gem Plant turn yellow and fall off when there is not enough light.
WATER
Watering is the most difficult part of caring for an Emerald Gem Plant. When an Emerald Gem Plant is either over or under watered the bottom leaves fall off. Always allow the top 50% of the soil of an Emerald Gem Plant to dry out before watering. An Emerald Gem Plant doesn’t like anything cold, so use warm water and never dump extra ice cubes into the soil.
FERTILIZER
Feed an Emerald Gem Plant 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.
TEMPERATURE
Emerald Gem Plants like warm household temperatures between 65-80 degrees. Keep Homalomanas away from air conditioners and cold drafts.
HUMIDITY
An Emerald Gem Plant does well in regular household humidity.
FLOWERING
An Emerald Gem Plant or Homalomena produces spaths which rarely open so flowers are not often seen.
PESTS
Emerald Gem Plants are fairly pest resistant. If spider mites,Mealy Bugs, or white flies appear, spray an Emerald Gem Plant with the green solution.
DISEASES
Emerald Gem plants are disease resistant plants.
SOIL
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.
POT SIZE
Emerald Gem Plants can be found in 6"-10" containers
PRUNING
An Emerald gem Plant is a very symmetrical plant that rarely needs pruning.
PROPAGATION
The easiest way to propagate an Emerald Gem Plant is byplant division.
