This is my absolute favorite plant I’ve ever taken care of! I know they get a lot of hate for being finicky but she has given me a new leaf at least once a week and I just love her sassy β€œim closing my leaves now” behavior when she needs a water. Much love for the #Stromanthe #StromantheTriostar
3ft to light, direct
6” pot with drainage

@YoungKaro79 Yay for stromanthe love!! I also ADORE my stromanthe πŸ₯° She is one of the least finicky of my plants, and I just had to give her a bigger pot because she had some wild growthβ€”so many baby offshoots! I’m just obsessed with every leaf being a different pattern 😱 Do you have any ctenanthes? My ctenanthe lubbersiana is another top fav for super fast growth and no fuss πŸ₯°
@DreamMachine No I don’t, but I LOVE!!! I got my mom one for her birthday one year and I think I was more obsessed than she was with it🀣
@YoungKaro79 They are in the same family and have similar growth patterns. I love ALL my marantaceae familyβ€” regular marantas and calathea/geoppertia too, but ctenanthes and stromanthes are at the top for me πŸ₯° I just love them. I think *you* deserve a new plant too, πŸ€—πŸ˜‡ (even though that was a very nice gift for your mom 😁)
