Origin and distribution
Homalomena rubescens ‘Maggy’ originates from tropical regions in Southeast Asia, including Indonesia and the Philippines. This species also spreads across other tropical areas such as Asia, Latin America, and the Pacific. It thrives in humid environments and naturally grows as ground cover beneath larger plants and trees, making it accustomed to filtered or indirect sunlight. Origin: The Homalomena comes from the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia, such as Indonesia, and also from parts of northern India and Myanmar. Distribution: Due to its adaptation to tropical climates, the plant can also be found in other tropical areas such as the Pacific and Latin America. Natural habitat: In the wild, Homalomenas often grow in the shade of large trees, which explains their preference for indirect light.

Care instructions
Give a Homalomena rubescens ‘Maggy’ slightly moist, well-draining soil and place it in a bright spot without direct sunlight. Mist the leaves regularly to maintain high humidity, especially during drier periods. Fertilize during the growing season and repot every few years if necessary. Watering: Water the plant when the top few centimeters of soil feel dry—about once a week in summer and less often in winter. It’s better to give small amounts of water frequently rather than too much at once, and ensure no standing water remains in the pot to avoid root rot. Light and placement: Place the plant in a bright area with indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it may burn the leaves. Placement and maintenance: Avoid drafts. Mist the leaves regularly, especially in dry conditions, to increase humidity. Cleaning: Wipe the leaves occasionally with a damp cloth to remove dust. Feeding and repotting: Feed every four to six weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Reduce or stop feeding in autumn and winter. Repot every few years in well-draining potting soil. Additional care information can be found using the symbols below.
