This particular variety of Homalomena originates from the region of Sekadau in West Kalimantan, Borneo, hence its name "Sekadau South." It has gained popularity due to its distinct leaf coloration and pattern, making it a standout addition to any plant collection.

The leaf coloration is a mesmerizing blend of deep, velvety green with prominent silver or metallic veins running across the surface. This contrasting pattern adds a touch of elegance and visual interest to the overall appearance of the plant.
