Homalomena cf. aromatica (Spreng.) 'Pink Diamond' (PD-2211)

Nicely variegated homalomena 'pink diamond.' Really well established, growing fast (for a homalomena), and consistently produces high var leaves for me!

If you're new to Homalomena (cf. aromatic in particular), care can be challenging to master. But 70% humidity should be a minimum requirement, not an afterthought. They do prefer to be consistently moist to damp (think calathea.) And, despite popular advice, mine always seem to prefer substantially lower light conditions than what's suggested. Or my criteria for "bright" light is very different.
