How can I make my tricolor stormanthe healthy again it’s not very happy at the moment pls help
I have my triostar in a south facing window, mist every day, and water when the top inch feels dry and she is HAPPY as a clam. I have 3 and every one of them is different though. My other triostars HATE the south window and prefer the west window about 8 feet away from the window. Lol. They are picky!!
Triostar loves humidity..i keep my triostar along with other calathea..and use a humdifier whenever the weather feels dry .
Also propagated three plants from the mother plant…all of them are fine and mother plant have got some new shoots..😊
