Stromanthe angustifolia

A rarely recorded Bolivian prayer-plant relative from the humid Yungas valleys north-east of La Paz. Treat it like a montane Calathea: shade, high humidity, mild days with cool nights, and a constantly moist, airy mix.

Where it grows wild

Known from the forested Yungas slopes of La Paz department. Like other Stromanthe it is presumably a shade-dwelling forest-floor herb; no habitat notes were found for this species.

The records sit at about 1,900 m in the Yungas.
