Know before you buy
Yes, the Stromanthe Triostar is non-toxic to pets, making it a safe choice for households with curious animals.
Stromanthe Triostars are sensitive to the chemicals, salts, and minerals often found in tap water, which can cause brown, crispy edges on their colorful leaves. Using filtered or distilled water helps maintain the plant's vibrant appearance.
This plant thrives in environments with high humidity, such as a bathroom or a space near a humidifier. You can also group it with other plants to create a microclimate that helps retain moisture around the foliage.
During the winter months, the plant may slow its growth significantly due to lower light levels and cooler temperatures. During this time, you should reduce your watering frequency to prevent the soil from staying too wet, as the plant is not actively consuming as much moisture.
This plant prefers to be kept consistently moist but not waterlogged. Check the top inch of soil regularly; if it feels dry to the touch, it is time to water.
The plant is treated with organic cold-pressed Neem Oil as a preventative measure to ensure it arrives free of common pests. It is a standard practice at Paraiso Plant Studio to maintain the health and integrity of our greenhouse stock.
