Stomanthe

Description

The Stromanthe, scientifically known as Stromanthe sanguinea ‘Triostar’, is a striking and colorful tropical plant admired for its vibrant, variegated foliage. Its elongated, lance-shaped leaves feature a stunning combination of green, cream, and pink hues on the top, with deep purple undersides that add a dramatic flair. This eye-catching plant is part of the prayer plant family (Marantaceae), known for folding its leaves upward in the evening.

Stromanthe thrives in bright, indirect light, which helps maintain its vibrant colors. It prefers well-draining, moist soil and requires regular watering, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. The plant enjoys high humidity, so occasional misting or placing it near a humidifier helps keep its foliage lush and healthy.
