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.
