Description:

This rare mutation of Homalomena rubescens 'Stardust' produces irregular shaped, variegated foliage that can blush in shades of pink depending on amount of light received.  Also referred to as "Albo Pink". Tolerates a wide range of lighting from bright indirect to low light, but performs best in bright indirect light. If the bottom leaves of your Homalomena are turning pale yellow and falling off, it is most likely because it is not receiving sufficient light.  If your Homalomena is in bright indirect light and still losing leaves, it is either over or under watered. The best way to know when it is time to water is by sticking your finger all the way in the pot, if half the soil in pot feels dry, it's time to water!  Be sure to use room temperature water.

Highly variegated leaves may brown from shipping stress, will quickly produce new leaves with proper care.
