Complete Care Guide

Light Requirements ▼
  • Bright, indirect light enhances the vibrant pink and cream variegation

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Triostar variegation so special and distinctive?
The Triostar showcases three stunning colors on each leaf: dark green, cream, and vibrant pink create bold stripes and variegation on the upper leaf surface, while the undersides display gorgeous pinkish-purple hues. This tricolor display intensifies with proper light, making each leaf a unique work of living art that changes throughout the day.
Does it really move like a prayer plant?
Yes! Stromanthe is closely related to prayer plants and performs the same fascinating nyctinasty movement. Each evening, the leaves fold upward to reveal their stunning magenta undersides, then unfold again in the morning. This daily ritual makes the plant especially captivating as you witness both sides of the beautiful tricolor foliage.
How do I keep the pink variegation vibrant and prevent fading?
Bright, indirect light is essential for maintaining the vibrant pink variegation. Too little light will cause the pink to fade and new growth to show less color. High humidity (60-80%) also helps maintain color intensity. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch leaves and wash out the delicate pink and cream patterns.
Is this plant safe around pets and children?
Absolutely! Stromanthe sanguinea is completely non-toxic to cats, dogs, and humans, making it a perfect worry-free choice for families who want to enjoy its spectacular tricolor foliage and enchanting prayer movements safely throughout their home without any concerns.
Why are the leaf edges turning brown on my Triostar?
Brown leaf edges typically indicate either low humidity or sensitivity to tap water chemicals like fluoride and chlorine. Increase humidity levels with a humidifier or pebble tray, and switch to filtered, distilled, or rainwater for watering. You can carefully trim brown edges with clean scissors without harming the plant.
