Stromanthe Thalia - looking for pro tips! I am good with easy plants (lots of success with pothos and monstera adansonii) but I am having a hard time keeping the Triostar happy. No new shoots coming up and leaves just look dull. I stopped using my tap water and stopped getting the leaves wet when watering. Any advice appreciated!
Welllll, I managed to save mine from a THRIPS infection in the Fall. Before that fiasco she was THRIVING. She needs a LOT of humidity. Mine sits near the humidifier and under a Soltech Aspect grow light. They say bright indirect light. I’m cursed with only North facing windows. I let her dry out the first 3” of her pot and then water thru with distilled water. Hope that helps
1 like One issue with the thrips was she lost coloring and most leaves come in green. There is a lot of conflicting info online as to whether this is lack of light or too much light. 😬. It’s my one plant that I feel like I need a “consultation” on.
Thank you! I have her near a west facing window, which the rest of my plants love but maybe I should change it up in her case. Humidity hasn’t been great here either- I’ll give that a try!!

As long as it doesn’t get direct light, it should be ok.
