Stromanthe sanguinea Triostar house plant in a 12cm pot colourful leaves

Stromanthe 'Triostar' is an unusual house plant which is grown primarily for its attractive foliage. Closely related to Calatheas, this is one of the boldest house plants that you will find! The leaves are all slightly different, with colours including red, white, cream and green. The leaves have a plump, leathery texture and they have a bright, purple or pink underside. It is a relative of the prayer plant.
