Stromanthe ‘Triostar’, 4-Inch Pot
Stromanthe ‘Triostar’ (Stromanthe sanguinea) brings layered color to a bright room: long green leaves marked with cream and pink, with rosy undersides. As a prayer-plant relative, its leaves may shift position between day and night. Color patterns, fullness, and leaf height vary naturally.

Care guide
- Light: Give bright indirect light to support colorful foliage. Avoid strong direct sun that can scorch or fade the leaves.
- Water: Water when the top layer of potting mix begins to dry, keeping it lightly and evenly moist during active growth without leaving the roots soggy. Let excess drain; water less in cooler or darker months.
- Water quality: If leaf edges brown despite otherwise suitable care, try filtered, rain, or distilled water; some prayer-plant relatives are sensitive to minerals in tap water.
- Soil: Use a loose, moisture-retentive yet well-draining indoor potting mix in a pot with drainage. Ready to repot? Shop our Rich Houseplant Soil Blend, hand-blended in small batches and sold separately. Keep the mix airy and lightly moist without waterlogging the roots.
- Humidity and temperature: Moderate to higher humidity can help prevent crisp leaf edges. Keep comfortably warm and away from cold drafts and hot dry vents.
- Feeding: Feed lightly during active spring and summer growth, if needed, with a balanced slow-release houseplant fertilizer according to its label directions. Shop our 2 oz Slow-Release Fertilizer for Houseplants & Succulents, sold separately. Reduce or pause feeding in winter, and skip feeding while growth is paused or during extreme heat or cold.
- Pruning: Remove spent leaves at the base with clean scissors.
- Repotting: Repot one size up if roots crowd the nursery pot, using fresh, airy mix and a container with drainage.
- Propagation: Established clumps can be divided at repotting, keeping roots and growth points with each section.
