Stromanthe confusa

A little-recorded prayer-plant relative known from the lowlands around Santa Cruz in eastern Bolivia, where forest meets drier Chiquitano woodland. Treat it like other understory Stromanthe: warm, shaded and evenly moist, with some tolerance for a drier winter.

Where it grows wild

Only two wild records exist, both near Santa Cruz de la Sierra. Like most Stromanthe it is likely a clump-forming herb of the shaded forest floor and stream margins in semi-deciduous lowland forest; this is inferred from the genus.

The recorded site sits at roughly 375 m in the eastern Bolivian lowlands; no elevations are recorded on the specimens.
