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 only ship plants on Mondays. Please order before 2pm on Sunday to ensure your plant will be sent the following Monday. Orders placed after this time MIGHT not be shipped untill the following week.

We only ship plants to non-quarantine states (sorry sorry WA, TAS and NT residents). Shipping of plants is capped at $18.00 per order. This includes the packing materials and labour times. We use recycled packing where possible to reduce our waste and keep cost down, but we ensure that all packing material is sturdy enough to resist damage during transit.

If no one is home to receive your order, the parcel will be left in a safe place. We will not request signature on delivery, as parcels sent back to the post office may not get picked up for days, therefore increasing the amount of stress placed on the plant(s) inside.

This plant can also be picked up from the Northern Wellbeing Centre; 113C miller st, Epping VIC. If you select this option at check-out, we will email you to organise a pick-up time.
