Ohmygosh it's so dang cute!!
I know im asking randomly but does someone know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account??
I somehow forgot the account password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me
@Mordechai Brooks Instablaster :)
@Sage Cade i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im trying it out now.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Sage Cade It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thanks so much, you really help me out !
Hi! I'm from Rio de Janeiro, and I have a Triostar for a few months now. Love your video! 🥰 Something I think is important to point out, is that it's a tropical forest plant. In nature, it lives underneath bigger plants, closer to the ground, so it's natural state is really out of the direct sun and the soil is very rich in organic material, and also it loves humidity (just think Amazon forest) and also it gets drops of rain after all the other taller plants got 'em . Thanks for the video!
Oi Maria! Eu vi esse vídeo e só consegui pensar “acho que nenhuma dessas dicas e comentários se aplicam pra quem mora no Brasil, especificamente no litoral…” moro na Bahia e tal qual no Rio, aqui é super úmido né… então qual você considera a frequência de rega e de fertilização ideal?
I find that I only water when the leaves start closing up. In my experience waiting for the soil to dry up is unreliable when it comes to these. (every times I've seen them curl, the soil happened to be dry) These plants are pretty good at telling you what they want.
good tip, thanks!
I heard it likes to be wet. So interesting tip. Thanks!
Oh my goodness. You plant youtubers are really coming through for me with the videos on my most complicated plants.
Maam please subscribe my channel.support me
I got a Triostar when I knew nothing about it and now I have to live with the consequences lol
Saaaaame
Same
Same lol

I got mine last year, in the reduced section because it was so sad and crispy, and it's now thriving! It's definitely one of my faves.
Debbie Hinch I just got a reduced one for $3 and he’s s also sad and crispy. Did you do anything special to it?
@@ourserenelife4321 I trimmed off the worst of the crispy leaves, and out him in a nice bright spot, misted him every couple of days, and only watered with rain water. I thought I would, for sure lose him, but he went wild, and gave me a second plant! Good luck with yours!
I just got a sad crispy one too and it has wholes in the leaves...it was the only one left for good reason lmao but it was still pretty...I'm not sure what to do with it... I can't even keep my ti plant alive 😩 there is no further or new issues that I've seen though.
I've found the Triostar to be one of the easier of the prayer plant family for me too. Mine is about 2m / 6 feet from a due east window, and some 1m / 3 feet away from my humidifier. It's doing great but this will be its first winter with me so the jury is still out!
I water all my plants with filtered water and so far no browning.
Top tip for plants you like to shower is to water first with filtered water, then set the plant in the tub/shower with a rag around the crown of the plant before hitting it with the shower water. That way you get the cleaning of the leaves, you knock off the pests, but you don't get much tap water into the soil...
This is so great to know! I love this plant but I'm afraid to kill it!!!
@@jaclynns.jungle some people find them really difficult so all I can tell you is try it! Look for a small one so the investment is minimal and have a go! I would wait for spring before bringing one home, so you have a full growing season to get acquainted and are not immediately faced with the difficulties of winter! 😉
@@Dwynfal that's some really solid advice. I was about to but a small rattlesnake calathea but now maybe I will wait. THANK YOU 🙏🏼💕
How did it hold up?
How is your stromanthe?
I feel bad because when everyone struggles with these, i ignore mine and she pops new growth all the time
I think a lot of them are babied to death! A little benign neglect is often a good thing!
Its the same for my calathea. Everyone tries so hard but I just popped mine in my bathroom and watered it every other day and it's been growing for 2 years.
@@ethansexotics616 every other day? I an an over waterer, I didn’t need to hear that. I just got a white fusion. Do you get brown crispy tips?
Do you use a pebble tray or do anything special for humidity?
@@ethansexotics616 ok. bathroom it will goes. Haha
I find using coco coir instead of soil and controlling the nutrient intake of the plant myself works the best and you won't get burnt tips because you would just adjust the nutrients.
With coco coir you won't have any bugs or things you don't want in there.
Also, I find every once and a while throwing a little plain epsom salt into the water helps them a whole lot and provides stress relief.
My best advice to people would be not to buy small. I got one in a four inch pot. It died back to one leaf before adjusting to the new environment and springing back. Once back, leaves were half brown due to my dry home, (I was giving distilled water from the get go) so I moved it under lights in my basement. Cut it back and the leaves grew back with no crispy edges at all. I have been told that the larger plants are more resilient and that I was lucky mine didn't die. I am a cheap person (and proud of that, lol) so as far as me, I am ok with the experience, but for others, buy them bigger if you want fewer struggles.
First time I saw this was on a plant shop expedition, it was love at first sight! I think the foliage is just spectacular. I noticed with mine that when it's getting enough sun, the leaves go up at night. But when it isn't, they'll start looking like they're hanging down and barely lift up at all. When I was getting up in the morning and its leaves hadn't lifted at all, I got scared and moved it to a brighter spot, doing much better now!
I've admired this plant for SO LONG but was pretty intimidated by the care needs. Finally feel experienced enough and snagged one yesterday 🙌🏽 I'm so excited!! And bingeing all the Stromanthe Triostar videos ever 🥰
Just bought a Stromanthe Triostar! Mine only has 7 leaves, I can't wait for it to be as big as yours!
Buys a triostar yesterday, today Harli posts this! Wow 😂
Perfect timing!
Love your work Harli
I just got my
Stromanthe just today, and your video was the first one I checked out to see what I shoudl know and what are dos and donts, thanks alot!
One thing I’ve noticed is that they love to be repotted… they immediately start getting bigger…😎
Just bought one of these 👏👏👏👏 Harli G coming in clutch!!
My husband just bought me one from Etsy for Mother’s Day. It’s gorgeous!! I’m no pro at plants, but I’ve been lucky with the ones I do have. Thank you so, so much for all of the tips! Thank you fellow commenters for the tips as well! I wrote down notes in my phone and I’m so excited to nurture this baby. 🌱
This came out at a perfect time! i was gifted one the other day and I've been very nervous about killing it. Thank you Harli!
This is very helpful Harli! My Trio has been crisping like crazy and I recently just moved it into my bathroom where my Rattlesnake plant is doing wonderful. The tips are amazing!! Keep up the amazing content Harli!!!
Always so helpful! Thanks, Harli!
Im adding this to my plant playlist so I can check back in when i get one of these babies! Super helpful
I use rain water for all my sensitive ones like prayer plants and calatheas. I live in Texas so rain here is scarce except for one season. So I have to collect & save. But if I run out I use distilled & the brown tips don’t happen as long as I keep a humidifier going in my bathroom & that is where I keep mine running the humidity that high. I find my ferns and calatheas just do better where they are now with a west facing window in there. I wish I could keep them around the house cuz of their beauty but they look so ratchet without the high humidity. :(
I just got mine today! I’m so happy to add it to my collection.
Great information! Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
Wow I have really been needing this video thank God
Excellent video, as always. Many thanks!!
Just got the triostar today and I love him ❣️ this video was really helpfull and it has given me hope that I will be able to keep him alive lol. Thank you Harli!
Harli girl! I just got one of these as a rescue and you’ve saved me!!!!! Thannnkkkk youuuuu!!!!
I just got my first triostar 2 weeks ago! I've been misting it every other day and rotating it often too :)
I purchased one based on aesthetics it was love at first sight 😍 She’s lovely! I didn’t realize she would be so high maintenance!!
My tiny one just arrived! Im so excited for it to grow to be the size of yours! Im planning on bringing it out of my plant room and into the main area of the house once its large enough. One of my favs even though its brand new!
Just bought mine these tips are great thank you
Really great video! I have my first Triostar and just ordered 3 more. Your video answered my questions because I only have west facing windows. I just adore these plants! And you helped me a lot when you mentioned the brown areas, because I have noticed that on mine too. Thanks again! Subscribed!
I finally got my triostar last month. Thanks for the tips Harli!
OMG HARLII I just took a cutting of the huge one at my school! poifect timinggg
This is my first plant, I've never had one before so your video was really helpful. Thank you❤
Thank you!! Lots of useful information 🤗
Hi Harli, good to see you again. I have this Stromanthe and I love it so much, I have had mine for over a year and it is doing great, I have it in my west facing window and it gets light but not direct light. I do have a humidifier going in the same area. I only water when it's dry, but not overly dry and I do mist it sometimes, and I do use filtered water. Mine doesn't look perfect, and I also have a few leaves that have some brown on the tips of them, but not as much as I was afraid it would get, it has been giving me a ton of new growth, and I love it. Mine is still in the nursery pot and I popped it into a cache po. Thanks Harli, I love any and all tips I get on my plants even when I have the plant, because sometimes I could do more for the plant. I really love this video it has some great information on one of my favorite plants. I hope you have a great week, and you are looking so adorable as a pregnant lady, take care and I will see you soon, love you, bye for now.
I just got one today and the first thing I did was come to you for advice!!
Great tips! I am now following your channel!
That sweater looks like the coziest 🥰
Thanks. Very helpful information.
Eeeeeeeek! I just bought one yesterday! Wish list plant! Yay! Damn, they are just so strikingly beautiful!
I’m just staring at it in its quarantine bag lol pawing at it. Great video Harli! Thank you kindly for the tips!! 🌿❤️
Perfect timing, I’m getting a mail order one soon and appreciate all the tips. I guess I should have known they might be a little tricky for some people because you don’t see them around a lot. I know that they’re not rare but I don’t often see them in many UA-cam videos . Again thanks for the tips!💚🙃
An Excellent video Harli! I dont have this plant but your recommendation of Fish fertilizer is spot on. I've started to feed my plants 1/4 strength in the Winter if they're continuing to show new growth. Thanks!!
It’s a beautiful plant, never had one, but may have too start looking. I love the colors an good info on growing it!
I want one so bad!!
Thanks for the tips!
Thank you so much Haili, I really really enjoyed listening to your tips and tricks on this stunning plant, which is so beautiful to I’ve just brought one and I’m going to follow what you’ve said. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤
First video watched, susbcribed. Fun and informative. 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
I hope mine gets that big..... Happy Holidays to you and yours. ❤️
Amazing tips! 🐦
I got one a few months ago, repotted with a well draining soil, and put it outside on my covered patio. For humidity I use a deep plastic saucer from Lowe's with river rocks. The rocks fill the saucer so the plant is suspended above the water and as the water evaporates it creates humidity around the plant. I water it maybe once or twice a week and when I water it refills the saucer. Mine hase grown huuuuuge and constantly has 3-7 new leaves coming in. Definitely tied for my favorite plant in my collection and probably the easiest one to care for!
I bought 2 on clearance at my local grocery store this past summer. They were in rough shape. I replanted them and with lots of light and humidity they are thriving now and growing like crazy! Does get crispy easy though! They are seriously so beautiful and it’s so cool to see them sticking straight up and looking so happy
Rewatching a lot of your old plant care videos to try to really soak up the content. It’s nice to see your old house again. I know how much you loved it … ghost and all! 😜
This is great!!
I just bought one and it’s a baby in a 4 inch pot. So beautiful!!! I’m so excited!!! I have a great eastern window for it, all my plants love my eastern window!
I've had mine for about 3 months now. It's an awesome looking plant.
On My Wish List..❤
I have had trouble with spider mites on our peach trees during late July and August, but as of yet none on tropicals indoors. This year I kept the peach trees well watered and no mites at all. This plant you talk about here I have never had. Maybe before long!
Good one Miss H!!!
🎀⛄🎀⛄🎀⛄🎀⛄🎀⛄🎀
Thanks for this video. I am waiting for mine to arrive, any day now... I just hope I can keep it alive. I would be crushed if it dies on me because I'm looking f oward so much to its arrival and presence in my collection!! Such a beauty. I plan on putting it on my kitchen table, humidifier running next to it. Thank you for the advice!
Hi, I enjoyed your video.
What I learned with the particular plant is that it does not like drafty windows. I live on the east coast and during the winter. My plant curled up and was acting really weird lol. Now it's fine, leaves has opened up and look 'happy'
For me in the UK all kinds of calathea and stromanthe grow really well inside! I have a magic star and a trio star and they're both super low maintenance - probably thanks to our naturally higher humidity tbf
Going back watching old videos.. I just got one of these beauties!!!
I am so happy you posted this! Mine is not dead, but it’s not living it’s best life lol. Thanks for posting! :)
I just got a little one today. I think it's my second favorite after my whale fin sanseviera!
Perfect timing! My poor Tristar is down to two leaves. Hopefully I can fix it.
I recommend seaweed -based plant food, if you can't deal with the fish fertiliser smell but want similar results. I use it on most of my plants and calatheas in particular love it. I use a local brand but I know international brands have it in their ranges too.
Thank you Harli! My Stromanthea has a lot of brown tips. I think it is the watering for me. I will admit, I don't water it often enough. That will change starting tomorrow.
My boyfriend just got me one of these. Currently learning more about it, thank you so much.
I havent killed my Triostar yet, but THANK YOU. I can keep every plant beautiful except her, and now I know why!!!!! I was giving her barely any sun and watering her like a fern.
I totally agree!! My trio is definitely my favourite but mine has never ever looked perfect. Its always seems to develop damage even tho i never really touch it! But it is a steady grower for me! My best buy in 2020
So helpful!! I thought the yellow leaves and browning tips meant my plant was not doing well. Even though my intuition told me it was doing well with the new growth. Thank you!
I got one about 2 weeks ago and it's SO pretty. Seems to be doing good so far, knock on wood.
I purchased this plant for the first time today, I hope I don't kill it!! Thank you for the tips!!!
😍 I LOVE yours! I hope mine grows to be as beautiful as yours!
Thnx Hun congrats on the baby , byeeeeeeeeeee
I feel so much better about my brown tips! I've been super careful about the light and type of water, nothing seems to prevent even new leaves from crispy edges.
I bought a nearly dead one last month for $3 on clearance and hope to restore it to gorgeousness =) so far so good! Thanks for the tips!!
i just did the same thing!! how is yours doing??
@@haleyjohnson8469 it totally died haha I think it had root rot
@@shellyk715 damn thats where i see mine goin right now 😂 rip
I have my plant growing in my yard they're beautiful
Got two trios from HD for $3 each and it they were bad! The leaves were crispy, the soil was dry and some leaves were folded as if they shoved them somewhere or had something laying on top of them. I took off all of the dead leaves and repotted them together and now it’s thriving and she’s my favorite plant...I thought she was going to die for sure lol but it’s the pushing out new shoots every week! I’m glad I rescued them and I think they are too 😊
Mine hated me ☠️ but I’m glad yours is thriving! 🤣 love all your vids 😍😘
Story of my life
Great timing for this video Harli! I've gotten two hysterical calls from plant friends and the Season Of Death hasn't even started😂 My winter tips: NO COLD DRAFTS! Keep away from radiators/heating vents. Provide lots of humidity. Mist every morning too. Distilled water only.
"Season of Death." Perfect descriptor!
'Tis the season 😂
Thank you for this video and all of your useful tips. Mine is so picky and has so many crispy burnt tips. I moved it away further from the window and it’s starting perk up.
Mine loves it’s East facing and I struggled for a bit but then I got the perfect spot and now I never removed it from it’s happy spot
I like your show your doing a great job. I can see you have really grown doing this channel wow. Real Professional Lady
I was gifted a triostar when I was I was living in Chicago and it did NOT like the tap water. I moved to Brooklyn & started collecting rain water and it has been doing so much better.
I bought one of these beauties on clearance without knowing anything about it. I was so scared when I heard they were finicky plants. It was pretty brown and VERY papery when I got it but I put it right next to my humidifier, against the wall between two windows and it is thriving! 😁 Also I noticed the white parts hated getting misted, it made weird stains so I stopped that in favor for the humidifier.
I watched so many videos on this plant when I got it, and this one is the best by far! Thank you!
Absolutely beautiful.. 😍
Calathea are my absolute favorite.. Nothing can beat them when it comes to beauty and foliage.. Though they are little finicky and they don't love me that much.. 🙃😁 But I'm learning gradually how to keep them happy..
Thanks for sharing.. It helps..
One of my favs as well. They're so expensive where I am now though so I'll have to wait until I find a deal .
I hope you will soon get as lucky as I was yesterday, when I quite unexpectedly found one in a local supermarket, in the corner of the small plant section. Mind you, it was labeled a Calathea, but you could see from afar that it was a Stromanthe triostar, and for 5 (!) Euros I was not going to be too critical 😉😄. Now I am hoping to keep it alive during the winter, without special equipment like grow lights and humidifier… 🤞😊
Ive seen a few on the Walmart website for $20 and its a 6inch.
They are $100s of dollars where I live at the moment. So hard to get your hands on unless you want to pay a lot for a baby plant
Whaaaaat. They’re like 16$ for a gallon pot at my local Lowe’s. #florida plant privileges
I got it for 3 dollar I'm from India
Thanks so much for this video. I ordered one but now it’s on the way and I’m reading what a fussy plant they are I was getting worried. I feel better after seeing your tips. I live in Florida so I think I can keep up with its needs.
Mine is outside on my porch, so far so good for me 👍🏼👍🏼
love the colouring on this plant i always love to have at les one or two plants that have red or wight just to break up all the green
I about gave up on my triostar it went from my bedroom which has a west facing window to my living room that has east facing windows. Because they love humidity I had it in a pebble tray, watered twice weekly to no avail, about killed it. It now sits outside in my greenhouse and doing beautifully. I guess it prefers it outside. Thanks for your tips though maybe I’ll try it again someday lol
Alwsome video!!! Beautiful plant baby and nice nails
Cool info , u found something to put on the basket on top of the ikea shelf. It was in your background. Here in Australia they only have the shelf in black😕! Takcare👍
Thank you for sharing this (;
I have had this plant for about a year now. 1/3 of it has always been brown and crispy (sometimes just the tips of the leaves, sometimes more) but it still lives and all the roots look really healthy. I finally decided to do some research and it says it's most likely my tap water. Today, I divided my plant up into three smaller plants and planted then in three separate ways (1:1:1 soil, bark, perlite; leca with a reservoir of flora series; and the third in normal crappy potting soil). I used bottled water for all of these so I hope at least one thrives.
EDIT: just learned this is part of the prayer plant family and... interestingly enough, I murdered my prayer plant, too.
It is one of my favorite indoor plants...but browning of leaf tip really makes me unhappy all the the time...now it is doing well after keeping it in diffused light and light watering ..thanks for sharing your experience...I am from india
Perfect timing, mine is starting to look crunchy and sad. I’m in MD and it’s cold, so we’ve had the heat going and my triostar is hating the dry air. I’m probably going to move it, wish me luck!
Any updates?
I also love this plant! I have 3 of them because I just can’t resist their beautiful leaves! I agree with your care tips especially the ‘not babying them’. Mine like to be admired from a distance 😂😂
