Stromanthe Triostar is a beautiful plant grown primarily for its foliage.
In this video I discuss proper lighting, watering, repotting, fertilizing, and propagating.

This is the shortest but most informative video I've seen on caring for these. Thank you!

I appreciate that! Gotta keep it simple

@FactsRFacts222 ! for sure. Been growing them there for years. They prefer bright light. If your south window is too hot, best to back off a couple feet.

The absolute LEAST complicated video I’ve ever seen with this plant. I just purchased two. One for me and one for my cousin and I’ve had them only a few days. My cousin arrives for a weekend visit tonight so I get to give one to her and I have been STRESSING! I have hers in an east-facing window and mine is a little larger so I have it in my bathroom which is west-facing window and a grow light because it’s on the floor. I have been misting them both like crazy and obsessing over them both! In my head I kept thinking 🤔 if the soil is constantly moist, that alone creates humidity not to mention misting is different than humidity. Thank you for this info!

Same. Was trying to decide if I should try a pebble tray or just buy a humidifier.

Hey there Tanner! New plant friend here (just subbed!) whoop whoop! Thanks for the tips!!!

They don't "need" extra atmospheric humidity but they sure benefit and thrive from it. Just like I don't "need" my spa and high mile club sessions, but they do keep me happier than I'd be otherwise.❤

Absolutely. Just about all houseplants enjoy extra humidity

Thankyou for the vid. A very sick stromanthe was dropped off at my door and I've been focusing on taking care of it for a week now. I read that it prefers partial sun so I thought that meant in a partially shady area! It drooped when I took it away from the window. I hope I can save it

Update: it died cus I couldnt give it sun 🥺

@CH-mm7kd 3 жыл бұрын

I was doing it all wrong, mines leaves are staying down because i've been keeping it away from the indirect sun light and not fully watering. Thank you!!

I have the non variegated version in medium light (medium light that ranged towards the brighter side of medium) will that work?

@marjoriecohn3868 3 жыл бұрын

Well this is interesting. I have been wanting a stromanthe tricolor and was just in a store today where they said it needs a humidifier. I thought calatheas, marantas, and stromanthes all require a humidifier. You've given me hope. (I guess I could get a humidifier but that feels like a whole different thing.)

They appreciate extra humidity, but proper watering will do the trick

Where's this guy live? Maybe it's a high humidity area like Florida?? If you live in a dry desert like area then yeah you likely will need one

@tannertheplanter4213 2 жыл бұрын

@@ezclean7022 We are in Dallas, TX. Somewhat humid, but we are talking average household humidity here. Too many people try to substitute humidity for proper watering- not realizing that proper watering can negate the need for a humidifier. It makes these plants less attainable to the average hobbyist.

You definitely need to purchase a humidifier!!!!

Do you know what causes my triostar to have minimal variegation? I would say 90 percent is green and very little is white/pink.

Ok.. I just bought this plant in a 6in pot2 days ago.. It's not super root bound.. its moist. Haven't watered it yet. I do have a diffuser and I use water bowls to provide humidity.

@calantheaaquilah7990 3 жыл бұрын

I live in a studio type condo and my a/c is on almost 24/7. Some of my stromanthe’s leaves just curled and have crisped up in the edges. 😭 I mist it ever morning and put it beside a humidifier but idk, some of its leaves stopped “praying” 😔😔😔

I’d need more information on care, and what type of light it’s in! Also- check for pests!

@orphansparrow2 2 жыл бұрын

I just came from a video where the person had a huge and gorgeous Triostar and she said LOW light, high humidity! So confusing. Haha. Probably all depends on where you live?

@tannertheplanter4213 2 жыл бұрын

When they say low light for these, they’re usually referring to outdoor care. These are professionally grown in about 1,000 foot candles, which, scientifically speaking, is bright light.
