Stromanthe sanguinea is a stunning tropical plant that's sure to turn heads with its striking foliage. Each leaf is dark olive green on top with a white to pale green stripe, plus a deep purple underside. A native of the Brazilian rainforest, Stromanthe sanguinea grows in a compact, upright form, making it perfect for adding a pop of color and texture to any room. As a member of the prayer plant family, related to marantas and calatheas, Stromanthe sanguinea folds its leaves up at night and brings them back down with the next day’s light. Like those other plants in the family Marantaceae, Stromanthe sanguinea is safe to place around pets, but we don't recommend allowing your favorite furry one to make a meal out of your new prayer plant. This plant prefers bright to medium indirect light and should be kept consistently moist, but not waterlogged. It's also important to provide adequate humidity, as Stromanthe plants thrive in humid environments. With proper care, this plant can grow up to 3 feet tall, adding a lush, tropical feel to any indoor space. Feed monthly during spring and summer with a houseplant fertilizer. Stromanthe sanguinea is a unique and eye-catching addition to any plant collection. Its colorful, dynamic foliage and form make it a must-have for any plant enthusiast.
