Common Name: Homalomena Insignis

Homalomena are hardy, fast-flowing river survivors found in diverse geographical areas. They have been identified in Borneo and throughout Asia, Latin America, and the Pacific. Homalomena Insignis shows off a beautiful range of bright coral-pink, iridescent purple, and deep green colorations that provides a lovely contrast to more common aquatic plants. Homalomena's leaves are thick with a waxy sheen. These plants make wonderful accents for mid- or foreground placement. Homalomena grow submerged and emersed, and happen to be a common houseplant in some variations. It can be grown attached to hardscape or buried in a nutrient-rich substrate. To propagate, cut new growth off of the rhizome and plant directly into substrate.

Pretty Plant

New unique plant

"Very unique plant with beautiful red color on the underside of the leaves. The leaves are so wide that my bristlenose pleco likes hanging out on them! Haven't experienced any die back since receiving them 2 weeks ago, so seems to have acclimated quickly! I was excited to finally get my hands on this unique plant and it did not disappoint. I'll be on the look out for other Homalomena species in the future!"

— Melissa L. (5/5)
