Strobilanthes dyerianus 'Persian Shield'

Famous for its glowing metallic foliage, with deep purple tones layered in silver and hints of green that shift depending on the light. Native to Myanmar, this tropical plant brings bold color indoors without needing flowers to stand out. It grows upright when young, then can become more sprawling over time, making it a versatile option for both pots and mixed arrangements.

Light 🌞

Keep soil consistently lightly moist. Avoid letting it dry out completely, but also do not allow it to sit in soggy soil.

Soil 🕳️
Use a rich, well draining potting mix that retains some moisture while still allowing airflow.

Fertilizing 🧪
Feed every few weeks during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer to support lush growth.

Repotting 🪴
Repot every one to two years or when it begins to outgrow its container. It responds well to fresh soil.
