Plant Care Guide

Light: Homalomela wallisii ‘Camouflage’ thrives in bright, indirect light but can also tolerate lower light levels. Direct sunlight should be avoided, as it can scorch the delicate foliage, causing the colours to fade and the leaves to become damaged.

Fertilising: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertiliser every few weeks to support healthy growth. Be cautious not to over-fertilise, as this can lead to leggy growth.

Common Pests: This plant can be prone to pests such as aphids, mealybugs, and spider mites. If an infestation is detected, treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil. Regular inspections can help prevent pest problems from becoming severe.

General Care: Homalomela wallisii ‘Camouflage’ is a relatively low-maintenance plant. Keep the leaves clean by gently wiping them with a damp cloth to remove dust, which will improve its ability to photosynthesise. Remove any dead or yellowing leaves to maintain its attractive appearance.
