The Homalomena 'Camouflage' (Homalomena wallisii 'Camouflage') is a striking and relatively rare tropical evergreen houseplant belonging to the Araceae family, making it a cousin to plants like Philodendrons and Aglaonemas. It is also sometimes known as the "Camouflage Plant" or "Queen of Hearts."
This tropical beauty is native to the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia (including Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines) and sometimes Central America, where it thrives in warm, humid, and shaded understory environments.
The most distinct feature is its large, heart-shaped to lance-shaped leaves that display a remarkable, bold variegation of mottled dark green, medium green, and chartreuse patterns, strongly resembling a jungle camouflage print.

Bright, indirect light is ideal for maintaining the most vibrant leaf colors. It can tolerate medium to lower light conditions, but growth may slow, and the variegation might become less pronounced.
Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Allow the top 1 inch (2.5 cm) of soil to dry out between waterings.
Use a loose, rich, well-draining potting mix that retains some moisture, such as a high-quality aroid mix.
This plant thrives in warm, indoor environments between of 65 °F- 80 °F.
