How to Propagate Stromanthe
Stromanthe sanguinea · Also called Triostar
| Methods | Division |
| Difficulty | Intermediate |
| Best season | Spring–summer |
| Time to root | Instant — already rooted |
| Group | Houseplant |
A relative of Calathea and Prayer Plant, sharing their sensitivity. High humidity immediately after dividing is essential — this plant sulks badly without it, more than most houseplants.
Division
Remove from pot, separate natural clumps with roots attached, pot promptly, increase humidity immediately.
When to propagate
Spring and summer.
Common problems
Leaves curled and browned after division. Low humidity — use a humidity tent or tray for several weeks post-division.
Questions people ask
Can I root a leaf cutting? No — like its relatives, this plant needs roots and stem together; leaves alone won’t grow.
