Stromanthe Triostar (Stromanthe thalia 'Triostar')
Stromanthe thalia 'Triostar'
Living canvas of pastel pink, cream, and olive variegation with luminous magenta undersides that fold upwards at night.
About This Botanical
One of the most spectacular cultivars in the prayer plant (Marantaceae) family, Stromanthe thalia 'Triostar' (syn. Stromanthe sanguinea 'Triostar') displays elongated, lance-shaped leaves painted with irregular brushstrokes of cream, soft pastel pink, and forest green, backed by brilliant magenta-ruby undersides.
As evening falls, the leaves naturally elevate and fold upward in a daily nyctinastic prayer ritual, revealing their vibrant glowing undersides. PALMA does not treat family membership as an absolute pet-safety guarantee. Verify the exact taxon and source scope in the pet-safety checker. It thrives in medium to bright indirect light and elevated humidity.

Brown edges usually indicate low ambient humidity or sensitivity to minerals/chlorine in tap water. Use filtered or distilled water and place near a humidifier or on a pebble tray.
