Triostar Stromanthe

Buy Triostar Stromanthe (Stromanthe sanguinea 'Triostar') at Metro Turf Garden Center in Bremen, GA. This vibrant tropical houseplant produces elongated leaves with bold irregular patterns of deep green, cream, and bright pink — and the undersides are a rich magenta that adds another layer of color as the leaves move throughout the day. Triostar Stromanthe is one of the most colorful foliage plants you can grow indoors, and it brings a tropical energy to any bright indoor setting.

Like other members of the prayer plant family, Triostar Stromanthe moves its leaves in response to light — folding upward in the evening and opening again in the morning, revealing its striking undersides.

Plant FAQs
