Taxonomy
Common names
Springstar, Spring Star, Spring Starflower, Star FlowerHow to care for Springstar
Difficulty
Even if you don't have a green thumb, you can successfully care for Springstar due to its easy-going nature.
Water
Springstar should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.
Soil
Springstar loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.
Lighting
Springstar thrives in bright and direct sunlight. To ensure your plant receives enough light to survive, place it less than one foot from a window. The current weather in your area may affect the placement in your home. For example, if you live in a region that has longer and more intense periods of sunlight, then you may want to place the plant farther away from the window to avoid direct sunlight and reduce the risk of sunburn. Alternatively, if you live in a region with relatively milder temperatures and less intense sunlight, then you may be able to place the plant closer to the window for increased exposure. Ultimately, the current weather in your area should be taken into consideration when determining the best placement for your Spring Starflower.
Toxicity
No verified data on the toxicity of this plant exists within Ploi's records. Should you, someone in your family, or your pet ingest plant material with an unknown toxicity level, it is recommended to seek medical advice.
Growth-pattern
The Springstar displays clumping growth habits, with new shoots arising from the soil close to the parent plant.
