Calathea Stromanthe Triostar - 12cm pot
Also known as Stromanthe Sanguinea Triostar
A native to the jungles in South America, this is a beautiful, much coveted plant with variegated leaves in 3 shades of pink, green and white. It's in the Calathea family and related to the prayer plant. So it is relatively easy.
Calatheas don't enjoy a draughty spot and the room temperature should be about 18 or 19 Centigrade. They do appreciate a misting of water and a slightly higher humidity. Sitting them on a tray of pebbles and watering from the bottom helps with this as the water evaporates around the plant. As long as it is not sitting in the water it will be fine.
The Stromanthe likes a light bright indirect light. Water when 25% to 50% of the soil feels dry to the touch.
Non toxic
The plant do differ in slightly in colouration and size, approx. 35 cm tall
