With its vivid pastel stripes, the triostar stromanthe plant also known as tricolor stromanthe, is one of the best ways to add a pop of color and dreamy tropical vibes to your space. These full, vibrant plants can grow 2 to 3 feet high and 1 to 2 feet wide at maturity with the proper care. 


Your Stromanthe Triostar prefers a well-lit spot with bright, indirect light. Though it can tolerate lower levels of light, the bright variegation will fade. Avoid direct sunlight which can burn the leaves. Water when 25-50% of the soil volume is dry. Top Tip, alway use rainwater to limit dry tips and brown edges caused by slated and minerals in tap water.


How to care for your Stromanthe

Water: They must be kept in semi damp soil, but definitely do not allow the plant to sit in water or in very wet soil. Think little and often as a watering policy allowing the top 1-2 inches to dry to the touch.

Light: Calathea need plenty of indirect light, no full sun EVER.  Your Tristar could lose variegation when grown in low light, and it could also end up with stunted growth. Luckily, moving the plant into bright indirect light should fix the problem as long as it’s spotted in time.

Humidity: They enjoy humidity, brown leaf tips indicate that humidity is too low or that your tap water is to harsh (they love rain water).

Temperature: They like warmth, about 20 degrees C. Please no draughts.
