Care at a glance
- Water
- Keep the soil consistently moist but never soggy; allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Use distilled or rainwater if possible, as Stromanthe are sensitive to fluoride and chlorine.
- Light
- Provide bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight will scorch their leaves, while too little light will cause them to lose their vibrant coloration.
- Humidity
- Requires high humidity, ideally above 60%.
- Temperature
- Maintain temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C).
- Soil
- Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix.
- Fertilizer
- Feed every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.
- Toxicity
- Non-toxic to pets and humans.
- Propagation
- Propagate by division during repotting; carefully separate sections of the rhizome that have roots and at least one leaf stalk.
