Heart Leaf Homalomena
'Emerald Gem'
This plant is a relative of the Philodendron family, and is native to the deep shade forests of South America. The heart shaped foliage of the Emerald Gem variety is a deep green with a waxy look. It will grow in lower light situations than most foliage plants, but grows best with moderate indirect light.
If you keep the soil evenly moist, fertilizing lightly during winter months, more regularly during the growing season, this houseplant will grace your home for many years. The Homalomena is a slow grower, however, so choose a plant at about the size you need for the space you want to place it in.
