Care tips
A light location
The Strobilanthes prefers a bright spot but not in direct, strong sunlight, as this can cause the leaves to scorch. It will thrive in a bright but partially shaded spot, at a temperature of between 15 and 24°C.
Keep moist, the potting soil must not dry out
As with almost any plant, it is best to water regularly and not let the pot ball dry out. This way, you will be able to enjoy this rich fun plant for as long as possible. The Strobilanthes is a low-maintenance plant.
Easy plant
The Strobilanthes is an easy plant to look after. It likes light but doesn’t mind a darker spot either. It likes water, but if you forget to water it once in a while, it’ll be fine. Its beautiful leaves really brighten up your home and add an instant “green touch” to your living room.
Truly a plant to love!
