Stromanthe sanguinea 'Triostar'

stromanthe

Also known as: Calathea Triostar, Tricolor Stromanthe, Tricolor Ginger

Stromanthe Triostar is a stunning tropical houseplant known for its colorful foliage in shades of green, creamy white, soft pink, and rich magenta. Native to the tropical forests of Brazil, each leaf develops its own unique pattern, while the deep pink purple undersides add even more color as the foliage moves. Part of the prayer plant family, its leaves naturally rise and lower throughout the day as light levels change. Stromanthe Triostar grows best in bright indirect light, warm temperatures, and higher humidity, making it a beautiful choice for living rooms, bedrooms, offices, and bright indoor spaces where its colorful foliage can really stand out.

care

Place in a warm, humid spot with bright indirect light and keep away from cold drafts and air conditioning vents. Mist leaves regularly or place near a humidifier to keep humidity levels up — this plant loves moisture in the air. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry and feed monthly with a balanced liquid fertilizer during spring and summer. Remove any yellowing leaves at the base to keep the plant looking its colorful best year-round.
