Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid waterlogging, as Homalomena cordata prefers consistently moist but not soggy conditions.

Reduce watering slightly during cooler months to prevent root rot. Ensure good drainage in the pot.

Prune to maintain shape and remove any yellowing or dead leaves. Trim back leggy stems to encourage bushier growth. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears to make precise cuts.

Pruning can be done at any time of year as needed.

Homalomena cordata can be propagated by division or stem cuttings. Divide established plants during repotting by gently separating the root ball.

For stem cuttings, select a healthy stem with at least one leaf and node, and plant in moist potting mix.

Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Repotting is best done in spring before the active growing season begins.
