Baby Stromanthe sanguinea

Stromanthe Sanguinea, commonly known as Prayer Plant, is a houseplant with beautiful, contrasting leaves. The top of each leaf bears a dark green colour, with the underside bearing a deep red-purple shade. These colours work well to add a colourful touch to your home.

Its lance-shaped leaves are not the only eye-catching feature as this plant will also produce white flowers in Winter and Spring once mature. To maintain its growth and colour, be sure to mist the plant so it receives good humidity, as well as placing it in a bright space with indirect sun.

You will have the luxury of this baby plants vibrancy all year round as its evergreen foliage is present in all seasons. It is also an easy to care for variety that will cause very little fuss.

Growing your Stromanthe from its baby stage into a mature, healthy plant is all part of the journey that brings joy to all levels of plant enthusiasts up and down the country.

It’s not unusual to give your plant a name… so don’t hesitate to choose one that you think suits the plant! Try naming your plant with the first name or word that you think of when you look at it - that’s how we ended up with an orchid named Clover and spider plant called Joseph.
