What customers say

Know before you buy
This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. Too much direct sun can scorch the leaves, while too little light may cause the vibrant pink and cream variegation to fade.
No, the Stromanthe 'Triostar' is not considered pet-safe. It is best to keep it in a location that is inaccessible to curious pets.
Because it prefers high humidity, it performs best in bathrooms, kitchens, or near a humidifier. You can also group it with other plants or place it on a pebble tray filled with water to increase ambient moisture.
It means the plant is slightly more sensitive to environmental changes than a beginner-friendly variety. You will need to be consistent with its watering schedule and humidity levels to keep the foliage looking its best.
Yes, every Stromanthe 'Triostar' arrives fully established and planted in its own pot. You can place it directly into your space upon arrival.
Maintain a moderate watering schedule, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly before watering again to prevent root rot.
