Know before you buy
The plant is shipped without a nursery pot, with its roots wrapped in a minimal amount of soil. You will need to have a pot and fresh potting mix ready to plant it immediately upon arrival.
It is classified as an intermediate-care plant. It thrives in consistent humidity and bright, indirect light, so it may require more attention than a standard low-light houseplant.
Variegation is light-dependent. Place your plant in a spot with bright, indirect sunlight to keep the colors bold; too little light will cause the leaves to revert to solid green.
The deep red undersides are a natural characteristic of the Stromanthe sanguinea. This contrast is part of what makes the plant so visually striking when its leaves fold up at night.
Yes. Like other members of the Marantaceae family, the leaves will fold upward at night and lower during the day in response to light changes, a process known as nyctinasty.
