Homalomena care and watering

Caring for the Homalomena lemon lime is easy. Water the plant once a week. It prefers slightly moist soil, but its large leaves cause water to evaporate quickly. A saucer under the pot with some water is fine. Place the Homalomena in a partially shaded spot, but it will also thrive in a darker location. The brighter the spot, the lighter the leaves will often become. Don't move the plant too often between different temperatures, as it doesn't tolerate this well.
