Stromanthe Triostar Plant Care | And Everything Else You Need to Know

[@jenniferte6108]

I've had 2 of these that are now gone.. Currently on my third one. Third times the charm!

[@incifisenk9945]

Thank you for the information. I’d like to add an important feature; even diluted fertilisers and tap water can cause significant damage.

[@jeepgirl7254]

I have several Triostars, 2 of them are huge. They are in 3 gallon pots, very full and lush, just beautiful! I put them in my shower once a week for a good soaking. In between, I mist them daily. The leaves love to be misted even if you're not watering the plant at that moment. Thanks for your video, it was very informative 😀👍

[@baublesanddolls]

I've read that misting does nothing.

[@msscamp100]

@@baublesanddolls It depends on how you mist. If you're only going to mist once a week, then it doesn't do much. I mist my plants a couple of times a day, and they seem to like it.

[@angelathompsonmack3583]

I just purchased this Beauty wish me luck he is sooooo handsome!!! No tap water only distilled or rain water or purified water without minerals in it!!

[@prettylagoon]

I was told Spring water?

[@iklimatilla9522]

I really know what you are talking about when you say it is not an easy plant. I have mine over 1 year and it was not a good shape when I took it. I am trying and trying to see it in bright colors but man I think it is going to be a long journey:)

[@prettylagoon]

Is this same as Tri Colour Ginger? I want to plant mine in ground. I live in houston. Super hot. Filtered evening sun.

[@sharynkoren1036]

Thank you, mine needs a whole rosary of prayers!! I feel so badly, grow lights and humidifiers and repotting doesn't seem to help. Blessings from the pope me be??? Lol

[@ellensimmns511]

What type of soil should you use for this plant

[@MariePotsPlants]

I got one about 3 months ago and it’s still alive! I was extremely nervous at first. It has gotten a few brown tips and spots but over all it’s doing great and has new growth coming up. I’ve heard “it’s a great plant to look at from a distance or without your glasses” 🤣 I’ve started watering all my plants with only with filtered water, no tap. I boil filtered water everyday for some humidity. Some use the distilled water. What do you water with? It’s a very stunning plant. One of my favorites for sure. This was great video thank you for your tips 🙏

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much I really really enjoyed watching you talk about the Stromanthe Triostar. I love 🧡 this plant and I have one of these. I’ve subscribed and given you a thumbs up too

Bahut sundar plants h ji aapka sir mere es podhe ki sabhi patti mud gayi h band ho gayi sir please eski soil kaisi banaye plz

[@constancestith6973]

I bought 3 and put them under full sun, in Florida. Big mistake. Had to rescue them. And now I'm trying to save them. They are the fussiest plant ever. But so pretty. Hope they survive.😢

[@kristamoyer2975]

I would love to see a video on Alocasia Amazonica "Polly". Mine is struggling.

[@plantmarksthepot5618]

Thanks for letting me know, I have one here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/goK7m2WYec6JZtE

[@laurenervin1404]

I've only had one of these and it died a HORRIBLE death😬 but I'm definitely willing to give it another go! Great tips! I would LOVE to see a video in the future on the Jungle Velvet! I just recently bought one and it's quickly become my favorite houseplant, but I'm SUPER paranoid that will go the way of my poor triostar so I could definitely use some tips on her🙏😬

[@mwoods4608]

Mine isn't doing so good... not sure if I can bring it back to life or not??!!

[@rashmi6119]

Sir ji esko cocopit me laga shakti hu kya

[@roxannelessard2784]

I've had no issues with mine! One of my easiest actually. I water her once every week and a half to 2 weeks.. and in full sunlight..but..shes about 5 feet from the window. I also treat her to red onion water once a month !! Good luck.

[@plantmarksthepot5618]

Interesting, I've never heard about using red onion water.

[@mymemories4849]

@@plantmarksthepot5618 yeah its a fertilizer made of onion peels

[@kromedome84]

I know your pain with these divas! One week she is pushing out new growth.. the next week she is losing leaves! mine legit hates me right now..

[@Mari443Garrett1]

I have mine outside in the elements. It's loving it so far but it's busting out of it's nursery pot. I really need to repot it. It's huge.

[@prettylagoon]

I am in houston. You? The plant I bought is called tri color ginger

[@ro6874]

This was a great video, I especially needed to hear rule #1 and that it’ll come to you on it’s own time! Haha Thanks! I used to brag how lush and perfect mine was then the drama started, I’ve moved her back to a bit brighter light and I think we’re back on good terms. Never hear prayer plants referred to as doing the “goal post” or “in the club” before. 😂 Love it.. I’ll have to check out your other videos!

[@plantmarksthepot5618]

It honestly and truly will , Plants like these you often have to try fail and try again to get it right. I've had to do that with several different plants over the years

[@amelitabayot6834]

I have also stromanthe triostar. I bought it without knowing how to take care of it so what happen the leaves turn to brown one by one then the last result i cut it all, unti now not yet growing but still not dead.hoping to pup up new leaves soon.

[@LosAngelesLaura]

I’m dyingggg 😂😂😂⚰️⚰️⚰️💀💀💀 Is your prayer plant living on a prayer Ok... now that I’m done laughing... I’m about to cry... I just got my very first plant delivered today and it’s this little guy... I researched and I thought it was a relatively easy plant to care for... but I think they meant it was easier than the one I wanted before which was the White Fusion... 😐😐😐😐 ... omg I have more plants on the way... Pray for ME!!!

[@plantmarksthepot5618]

You can do this! It's all about the humidity and the consistent regular watering. Just don't let it dry out and don't let the sun burn it. And just keep on rocking!

[@janknuckey]

Actually, this is one of the more forgiving of the calathea/Prayer Plant family. As long as they are watered correctly, fed correctly and get the right amount of light, they are very forgiving. My one special tip is to mist it regularly. In fact, that whole family of plants benefit from misting.

[@plantmarksthepot5618]

The triostar and the Magicstar are the best performers that I have in the calathea/maranta family

[@vivala3299]

I've found that my Stromanthes and Ctenanthes thrive when placed in a cache pot and then put in a large clear tote filled with water and fertilizer to half the height of the cache pot. This provides a larger pool of constant humidity. It seems to be more effective than the pebble tray alone in my environment. I bring it out and group it with other plants when I want to spend time with it and admire it's beauty. Great video! Thanks for sharing!

This comment 😂😂😂

[@sailorPinata]

in a terracota pot ?? I thought they loved moist soil ?

[@AyanokojiiKun]

My stromanthe some of it's leaf is losing it's underside purple variation like fading off, any idea what am i doing wrong?

[@chicnoir29]

The plant at the top of my wishlist but I’m not at this level of plant mom.

[@kathysmith4996]

Can you tell me why my pothos is large and I've made a lot of cuttings but now the leaves a kinda limp

[@ReginaBeaChua]

What if my triostar wont pray anymore 😢

[@plantmarksthepot5618]

Needs to be fertilized

[@hellestinebeamon1717]

Is it better to water from a tray?

[@plantmarksthepot5618]

Yes and no. It's good as long as the tray is emptied once the roots have been satisfied. But if the plant Pot remains in water it can backfire

[@virtuousrn]

I just keep my plants outside in potting soil and water once a week.... no issues or concerns 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@plantmarksthepot5618]

Can't be mad at that...

[@peaceanhairgrease]

What state are you in? I just got one from Louisiana to here in north Texas and I scared 😨

[@dogblessamerica]

It's a beautiful thing, so poised and angular. Can I commit to fussing over it...hmmm

[@TheonlyKirindaMarie]

So what do I do with my drill and 2 wine glasses? 😂💀❤️ thanks for the tips!

[@plantmarksthepot5618]

I guess that's when we have to get creative

[@TheonlyKirindaMarie]

@@plantmarksthepot5618 😂❤️❤️

[@loma1189]

At this point I'm in an abusive relationship with this plant, and I am not the abuser. Sigh. It's still alive, so I guess that's something.

[@moniquebillups8572]

Can you just get to the tips. All this extra is unnecessary. Dancing and movement good to me or bad is NOT a tip! Does it need to be misted or not. Humidifier or not?

[@christiherring5877]

They don’t like to be in clay pots. Dries out way too soon. 😊

[@baublesanddolls]

You just need to water more. Easy peasy.
