Bright Star
Description:
The Murdannia loriformis ‘Bright Star’ is a charming and unusual tropical ground cover plant known for its narrow, lance-shaped leaves and subtle striping. Native to Southeast Asia, this eye-catching variety features glossy green foliage with creamy white variegation that adds brightness and contrast to any indoor space. Its compact, low-growing habit and cascading stems make it ideal for hanging baskets, shelves, or as ground cover in tropical gardens.
Although it may produce small, delicate flowers in pale purple or blue, its primary appeal lies in its graceful foliage. The slender leaves arch gently from central stems, creating a soft, elegant form that complements a wide range of interiors and plant combinations.
Plant Care:
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can adapt to medium light conditions. Prolonged direct sun can fade the variegation or cause scorching.
Water: Keep the soil lightly moist. Allow the top layer to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid letting the plant sit in water to prevent root rot.
Soil: Enjoys well-draining soil with good organic matter. A standard potting mix with added perlite or coco coir works well.
Humidity: Appreciates moderate to high humidity. Misting or placing near a humidifier is beneficial in dry environments.
Fertilizer: Feed with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season for optimal growth and foliage color.
Disclaimer:
Our plants are supplied in nursery pots. The listed size includes the height of the plant along with the pot. As a living product, slight variations in height or fullness may occur depending on the season and natural growth.
