Stromanthe is evergreen, rhizomatous herbaceous perennials from forest floors and clearings in Central and South America. Stromanthe is compact and low-growing like Maranta, but the foliage is marked with the distinct tracery of Calathea with which it is easily confused.
Place this plant in a light spot but out of direct sunlight. It should never be exposed to temperatures below 59°F (15°C) and the root ball should not be allowed to dry out. Water with soft water and feed once a fortnight. Spraying with water once a week will help keep the plant in top condition.
