  1. Size: When grown as a houseplant, 'Maggy' typically reaches a height of about 1 to 2 feet (30 to 60 cm) and has a similar spread.

  2. Light: Provide bright, indirect light for your 'Maggy' plant. It thrives in well-lit areas with filtered sunlight but can tolerate lower light conditions.

  3. Temperature: Maintain a temperature range between 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C). Protect the plant from cold drafts and temperatures below 50°F (10°C).

  4. Humidity: Homalomena 'Maggy' appreciates higher humidity levels. You can increase humidity by misting the plant regularly, using a humidity tray, or placing a humidifier nearby.

  5. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top inch (2.5 cm) of the soil feels slightly dry. Ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot.

  6. Soil: Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix that retains some moisture. A mix formulated for tropical plants or aroids is suitable.

  7. Fertilization: Feed your Homalomena 'Maggy' with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce or stop fertilizing in the winter when growth slows down.

  8. Pruning: Prune the plant as needed to remove any yellowing or damaged leaves and to maintain its shape.

  9. Pests and Diseases: Homalomena 'Maggy' is generally resistant to pests and diseases, but it's a good practice to inspect the plant regularly for any issues.
