Calathea 'Stripestar'

Stromanthe sanguinea - Calathea Stripestar Calathea 'Stripestar' (Stromanthe sanguinea) features striking lance-shaped leaves with deep olive-green tops and cream-white pinstripes, contrasting with rich burgundy undersides. This prayer plant cousin shares the same care needs and displays the mesmerizing habit of folding leaves upward at night. Plant maintenance: Light: Bright, indirect sunlight. North or east-facing windows work best. Avoid direct summer sun, which bleaches patterns and scorches leaves. Watering: Keep soil consistently moist like a wrung-out sponge. Use filtered or rainwater—tap water causes brown leaf tips due to fluoride sensitivity. Humidity: Thrives at 60%+ humidity. Use a pebble tray, group with other plants, or place in a steamy bathroom or kitchen. Non-toxic and perfect for plant lovers seeking a dynamic, low-maintenance indoor companion. ❗ PLEASE NOTE: The colour and design of the pot provided will depend on availability in stock.
