 How to Grow and Maintain Triostar Stromanthe

With clear pale lines, Triostar stromante (also known as stromante sanguinea or stromante thalia, tricolor stromante) is one of the best ways to add color and dreamy tropical vibes to your space. These full, vibrant plants can grow to two to three feet tall and one to two feet in maturity with proper care.

Native to the jungles of Brazil, this evergreen plant has delicate pointed green leaves sprinkled with light green, cream, and pink, and the bottom is deep pink, maroon, or magenta. As a member of the prayer plant family with marantas and calatheas, your triostar stromante naturally folds its leaves at night and shows the base of their striking pink.

The most similar plant with slightly different characteristics and less cold tolerance is Ctenanthe oppenheimiana, also known as the plant or giant Pampuranda, but it is much rarer than Triostar stromante.

The best growing conditions for your triostar stroma

Display your Triostar stromante in a bright, indirect light-like window facing east or north. This will allow your plant to thrive while increasing its color. Triostar stromante plants can survive in low light, but their variation is less pronounced. Turn the plant once a week to ensure balanced growth as the leaves will grow towards the light source over time. Although these plants are cool to 40 degrees, they prefer temperatures of 65 to 80 degrees, so it is best to keep them in a warm room with no cold drafts.

Quick Tip - 1

Triostar stromante plants require a humid environment, making it difficult to create interiors with forced-air heating or air conditioning. This makes them an excellent plant to group with other moisture-loving plants in your bathroom window.

A moisturizing tray can increase the humidity in the air around the leaves of your plant. Fill a plate with a layer of pebbles, then add water to the top of the pebbles. Place your plant on top of the pebbles and make sure the bottom of the pot does not touch the water surface. Fill the tray from time to time as the water evaporates.

How to Maintain Your Triostar Stromante

Keep the soil of your Triostar stromante constantly moist, but not too wet. Allow the top layer of soil to dry before re-watering. The plant may need less water in the winter than in the summer, so check the soil frequently when you first get home and find the rhythm of watering when the seasons change.

Feed your Triostar Stromante with semi-diluted standard houseplant fertilizer once a month in spring and summer. In winter, avoid composting when the plant is idle.

Triostar stromante plants should be replanted every two years or when you notice roots growing from the bottom of the pot. It is best to replant in early spring before new growth appears. When replanting, use a light, peat-based potting soil.

Assembling houseplants like Triostar stromante together is a great way to increase humidity. Plants release moisture into the air, forming a tropical microclimate.

If you notice dry, brown spots on the leaves, it is a sign that your plant is in too much sunlight. Move your plant a few feet from the south-facing window to a shady spot.

If you notice crisp, brown leaf edges, it is a sign that your spot is too dry. To overcome this, use a moisturizing tray to combine your plant with other moisture-loving houseplants. If your space is very dry, you should run a small humidifier in the room to keep enough moisture for your plant.

How to propagate your Triostar stromante

Although it is not possible to grow new triostar stromante plants from simple pieces placed in water, it is still possible to obtain one (or two) more plants. Triostar stromante can reproduce by dividing plants.

To increase your chances of success, it is best to propagate your plant in spring or summer. You have a healthy mother plant, fresh soil, clean, sharp scissors, and what you plan to grow Tum will require pots of suitable size as new sections.

Step 1: Remove the mother plant from its pot. Gently loosen the roots and soil with your fingers, then carefully divide the rhizomes into a few clusters. Make sure each cluster has at least two or three leaves. You can use your scissors or a clean, sharp knife to separate any attached roots.

Step 2: Prepare new pots with fresh soil for the new sections you made. Plant new sections in new pots. Replant the mother plant in a container with fresh soil. Water the plants so that the soil is uniformly moist.

Step 3: Place the fresh plants in a warm place with bright, indirect light. The soil should be kept moist but not too wet. When you see new leaves appearing, it is a sign that the roots have been established.
