{"product_id":"stromanthe-triostar-6-pot-var","title":"Stromanthe Triostar Variegated - 6\" Pot","description":"\u003cp\u003eStromanthe Triostar (Stromanthe sanguinea 'Triostar') is a dazzling prayer plant grown for its bold tricolour leaves splashed in green, cream and pink, with striking magenta-pink undersides revealed as the foliage lifts at night. A member of the Marantaceae family, it forms a bushy clump and brings vibrant tropical colour to bright, humid interiors. Native to Brazilian rainforests, it loves warmth, steady moisture and high humidity. Growing to roughly 60-90 cm indoors, it makes a showpiece for living rooms, offices and shaded balconies. It is non-toxic to pets and rewards consistent care with intensely coloured, ever-shifting foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFamily\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMarantaceae\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eNative region\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrazil (tropical rainforest)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMature height\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60-90 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMature spread\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45-60 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eGrowth rate\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModerate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFoliage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEvergreen; variegated green, cream and pink with magenta undersides\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFlower colour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReddish-pink (rare indoors)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFlower season\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e—\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eClimate zone\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTropical, warm humid indoors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSunlight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBright indirect light keeps variegation vivid; avoid harsh direct sun.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWatering\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKeep soil consistently moist; let top layer just begin to dry between waterings.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSoil \/ mix\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRich, airy, well-draining mix with peat\/coco, perlite and compost.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTemperature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18-29 C; avoid cold drafts and sudden chills.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eHumidity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh (60%+); use pebble tray, grouping or humidifier.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFertilizer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBalanced liquid feed at half strength monthly while growing.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePruning\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRemove damaged or fully yellow leaves at the base.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eRepotting\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEvery 1-2 years in spring when rootbound.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePropagation\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDivision of the clump at repotting.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePests \u0026amp; problems\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpider mites and mealybugs in dry air; treat promptly.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eToxicity \/ safety\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNon-toxic to cats, dogs and humans.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDifficulty\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModerate; needs humidity and good water quality.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eUses\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA premium ornamental foliage plant for bright indoor corners, offices and shaded balconies.

Avoid soggy soil and full drought; filtered or rainwater reduces leaf browning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat light keeps the variegation bright?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBright, indirect light maintains strong pink and cream colours. Too little light dulls variegation, while direct sun scorches the foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs it safe for cats and dogs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, Stromanthe Triostar is non-toxic to cats, dogs and humans and is safe around pets and children.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy are the leaf tips browning?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrown tips usually point to low humidity or hard\/fluoridated tap water. Increase humidity and use filtered or rainwater.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow do I propagate it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDivide the rhizome clump during spring repotting, ensuring each section has roots and a few leaves, then pot them separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhen does it need repotting?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRepot every one to two years in spring once roots fill the pot, using a fresh, airy, well-draining mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill it flower indoors?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlowering is rare indoors and the blooms are small. It is valued for its vibrant foliage rather than flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I grow it outdoors in India?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, only in warm, humid, shaded locations protected from direct sun and cold. Otherwise keep it indoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy are the leaves curling or fading?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCurling and fading suggest underwatering, dry air, too much sun or cold drafts. Adjust watering, humidity and placement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow should I fertilize it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse a balanced liquid fertilizer at half strength monthly during the growing season and stop feeding in winter.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vedicflora","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51256365383926,"sku":"PLT-STROMANTHETR-P06-VAR","price":299.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/4980\/6326\/files\/nurserylive-stromanthe-sanguinea-triostar-calathea-triostar-plant-1-377839_34963be7-62ef-415d-96ae-3cd94e41c3fd.jpg?v=1783924072","url":"https:\/\/vedicflora.com\/products\/stromanthe-triostar-6-pot-var","provider":"vedicflora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
