Persian Shield – Strobilanthes Dyerianus Care Guide
Welcome to your simple care guide for the stunning Persian Shield, a vibrant addition to any plant collection. Let’s ensure it thrives in your home with these easy-to-follow tips:
☀️ Light
☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
The Persian Shield enjoys bright, indirect light when kept indoors and can tolerate partial shade outdoors. Too much direct sunlight can fade its beautiful leaves, so a spot near a window with a sheer curtain would be ideal.
💧 Water
💧💧▫️ (Medium)
This plant likes its soil to be kept lightly moist. Water it when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Be cautious of overwatering—ensure good drainage to avoid soggy soil.
🌡️ Temperature
🌡️🌡️🌡️ (Warm)
Persian Shield thrives in warmer conditions. Try to maintain a room temperature between 18°C and 24°C for optimal growth.
💦 Humidity
💦💦💦 (High)
This plant loves humidity! If you notice the leaf edges curling or browning, increase humidity levels with a humidifier or by placing a water tray near the plant.
🪴 Repotting
Persian Shield generally needs to be repotted every couple of years or when it outgrows its current pot. Use a well-draining soil mix, ideally our Highland Moss premium potting mix, to ensure the best growth.

Important: Persian Shield is not pet-friendly. If you have curious pets, keep this plant out of their reach.
