The Stromanthe Sanguinea is a charmer known for its lovely variegated foliage. Long, sword-shaped leaves have shades of green, white, red, and pink. The underside of the foliage is purple, and red stems support the leaves. This tropical beauty is a Prayer Plant, meaning the foliage will fold up overnight and lower during the day. The Stromanthe Sanguinea has specific care needs and requires consistent attention, but the work is worth it when you can admire the foliage.

Best Locations For Growing Stromanthe Sanguinea

Areas with high humidity are a must for the Stromanthe Tricolor. A windowsill in a steamy bathroom is a very good place or any area with extra moisture in the air. Make any area a good fit by using a pebble tray or humidifier. 

Stromanthe Sanguinea Sunlight Requirements

In nature, the Stromanthe Sanguinea is a tropical understory plant, so it prefers bright to medium indirect light. Increased sunlight will draw out and intensify the variegation, but avoid direct light, which will burn the foliage. Plants in low light may lose variegation and fail to thrive.

Stromanthe Sanguinea Care

Repot Stromanthe Sanguinea every couple of years. Upgrade the plant to a new pot that is 1 - 2 inches larger than the original. Use a pot that is deep to accommodate the extensive roots. The pot must have drainage holes.

Watering Stromanthe Sanguinea

Proper watering is vital to caring for Stromanthe Sanguinea. This Prayer Plant needs consistently damp but not soggy soil. Water when the top layer of the soil is dry and remove excess water from the tray. Humidity is another important part of Stromanthe Sanguinea care. Increased dampness in the air keeps the foliage lush and vibrant. 

Feeding Stromanthe Sanguinea

Stromanthe Sanguinea appreciate regular feedings. Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every two weeks during the growing season. Plants may go dormant during the winter, and it is not necessary to fertilize Stromanthe Sanguinea when it is not actively growing.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
