Product Details

Stromanthe sanguinea is a plant species native to the Brazilian rainforest in the family Marantaceae. It is a common houseplant in temperate climates for its striking variegated leaves and purple underside of its leaves. It can grow outside in a humid tropical climate, but needs light shade in the afternoon and must be protected from high winds. The soil should be kept moist at all times, but never waterlogged as they are susceptible to root rot.
