Description

Homalomena 'Emerald Gem' (Adelonema wallisii) is a relatively easy-to-grow houseplant, with foliage reminiscent of certain philodendron species. It develops heart-shaped, rounded, and pointed leaves with prominent veins, in a dark green hue with a slight bluish tint. This tropical Asian plant has an elegant silhouette. Its striking appearance fits well in contemporary, bohemian, or "jungle-style" interiors. It is quite resilient and thrives in medium to bright indirect light. Ensure its substrate remains slightly moist.

Homalomena wallisii 'Emerald Gem' (Adelonema wallisii) is a herbaceous perennial, belonging to the Araceae family, with a bushy and compact habit. It typically reaches a height of around 1 m with a similar spread. Its broad, ovate, and delicately textured leaves display a lovely bluish-green shade. Borne on long petioles, they form a small, upright, and slightly spreading clump. Its growth rate is moderate. Though it may produce greenish spathe-like inflorescences, flowering is rare indoors and remains secondary to the beauty of its foliage.

Native to the tropical forests of South America, particularly Colombia, Costa Rica, and Panama, wild Adelonema wallisii thrives under the dense canopy of rainforests. Here, it benefits from filtered light and high ambient humidity. Its natural habitat consists of rich, well-draining soil, consistently moist but not waterlogged.

IndoorsHomalomena 'Emerald Gem' prefers ambient humidity between 50–70% and medium to bright light. It grows best at a steady temperature of 18–25°C, avoiding sudden fluctuations. The ideal substrate is rich and well-draining, with the soil kept slightly moist. Note that Homalomena is mildly toxic if ingested.

Maintenance and care

Arrosez lorsque le dessus du substrat est sec. Réduisez la fréquence en hiver. Brumisez les feuilles 2 à 3 fois par semaine pour augmenter l'humidité. Un excès d'eau peut entraîner la pourriture des racines.

Potting advice, substrates and fertilisers

Rempotez votre Homalomena 'Camouflage' tous les 2 à 3 ans, de préférence au printemps.
Utilisez un terreau léger enrichi en matière organique, avec coco ou écorces additionné de perlite pour améliorer le drainage. Assurez-vous que le pot dispose de trous de drainage pour éviter l'excès d'eau.
Appliquez un engrais liquide pour plantes vertes avec une formulation équilibrée, par exemple NPK 10-10-10, toutes les 4 à 6 semaines pendant la période de croissance (printemps et été). Diluez l'engrais à la moitié de la dose recommandée.

Houseplant care

Cette plante nécessite peu d'entretien. Cependant, il est recommandé de dépoussiérer régulièrement ses feuilles avec un chiffon humide.
Pruning is not necessary for Homalomena. Simply remove any yellowed or damaged leaves at their base.

Disease and pest advice

En cas d'infestation de cochenilles, nettoyez les feuilles avec un chiffon imbibé d'alcool à 70%. Rincez à l'eau claire pour éliminer les résidus. En cas de pucerons, pulvérisez une solution de savon noir et d'eau.
