Calathea Triostar

Calathea triostar is native to the tropical forests of South America, especially Brazil. This plant is admired for its broad, striking leaves, which display a unique variation of colors: the deep green contrasts with shades of pink, cream and purple on the underside of the leaves. This color combination makes Calathea triostar one of the most decorative and sought-after houseplants.

In tropical forests, Stromanthe sanguinea thrives in partial shade conditions where humidity is high and direct sunlight is filtered through trees. When grown indoors, it is essential to replicate these conditions to keep the plant healthy and vibrant. Triostar is known for its fascinating behaviour of ‘sleeping’ at night, when its leaves lift and close, revealing the purple hues on their backs, and ‘waking up’ in the morning, returning to their original position.

This plant is ideal for those who want to add a touch of exotic nature to their space, whether it’s a living room, office or conservatory. With its unique leaf pattern and colours, Triostar can serve as a decorative centrepiece or complement other plants with green foliage.
