Gabriel, a baby Calathea Triostar or Stromanthe Sanguinea Triostar, is a real show stopper with variegated leaves in a spectrum of pinks, greens, whites, and cream. If you're lucky, Gabriel will display big, fluffy, bright red flowers that almost look like pom poms.
Native to the rainforests of South America, the Calathea, Prayer Plant, and Maranta families, have unique leaf movements whereby they actually raise and lower their leaves from day to night as if getting ready for bed! And, if that wasn’t impressive enough, they’re also great at purifying the air!
Gabriel, Baby Calathea Triostar
Gabriel prefers bright indirect light to partial shade, without prolonged exposure to direct sun - a touch of morning sunlight however would be welcomed.
If you’re not sure what level of light you have, check the shadows cast by your plant:
- Minimal shadow = lower light
- Half shadow = indirect light
- Full shadow = direct sun
