They look as if someone hand-painted them with various shades of olive, emerald, and silvery colors. It is a close relative of aglaonemas and anthuriums but gives a much more exotic and collectible impression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e💧 Watering\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003eHomalomena is a bit of a \"drinker\" when it comes to water, but it must not sit in mud.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhen to water:\u003c\/b\u003e The substrate should be \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"33\"\u003ealways slightly moist\u003c\/b\u003e, but not soggy.

Overwatering, on the other hand, causes rapid yellowing of leaves from the center.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWater:\u003c\/b\u003e Always use \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"25\"\u003eroom temperature, standing water\u003c\/b\u003e.
