Stromanthe Sanguinea – Striking Foliage with Maroon Undersides

The Stromanthe Sanguinea is a stunning tropical plant prized for its vibrant green leaves with rich maroon undersides. With its bold contrast and upright growth habit, it makes a striking statement in any indoor space.

Growth Habit

This plant has an upright growth habit, spreading through its rhizomatous roots. Over time, new shoots emerge from the soil, gradually filling the pot. When the plant becomes root-bound, it may require repotting into a larger container or division if you wish to propagate new plants.

Why Choose Stromanthe Sanguinea?

  • Striking Foliage: Deep green leaves contrast beautifully with maroon undersides.
  • Natural Leaf Movement: Adjusting to light throughout the day.
  • Low Maintenance: Easy to care for with the right light and watering.
  • Compact & Full Growth: Produces new shoots over time, creating a lush appearance.

Care Requirements

  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Too much direct sun may scorch its leaves.
  • Soil: Grows best in a well-draining, moisture-retentive mix.
  • Watering: Keep soil consistently moist, allowing the top layer to dry slightly between waterings.
  • Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity, but will adapt to regular household humidity.

Shipping

This plant will be sent in its plastic growing pot.

We ship plants every Monday to non-quarantine states. Please place your order before 2 pm on Sunday to ensure your plant is sent the following Monday. Orders placed after this time may not be shipped until the following week.

Orders to WA and TAS are shipped on selected dates only due to quarantine requirements. Orders for WA and TAS must be placed by 12 pm (midday) on the Friday before dispatch. Please see the list of WA and TAS shipping dates at the bottom of this page.

Shipping for plants to non-quarantine states is capped at $18.00 per order. Shipping for plants to WA and TAS is capped at $30.00 per order. We currently do not ship plants to NT.

Shipping costs include packing materials, labour, and certification where required. We use recycled packaging where possible to reduce waste and keep costs down, while ensuring all packing materials are sturdy enough to protect your plants during transit.

If no one is home to receive your order, the parcel will be left in a safe place. We do not request signature on delivery, as parcels returned to the post office may not be collected for several days, which can place additional stress on the plant(s) inside.

This plant can also be picked up from Northern Wellbeing Centre, 113C Miller Street, Epping VIC. If you select this option at checkout, we will email you to arrange a pickup time.
