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.

🐾 Pet Friendliness

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

🪴 Recommended Locations at Home

This plant is perfect for bright kitchens, living rooms, or any indoor space where it can receive plenty of indirect light. It can also add a tropical touch to shaded balconies and patios.

🌬️🪴 Air Purifying

Persian Shield is known for its air-purifying qualities, making it not just beautiful but also beneficial for your indoor environment.

✨ Other Plant Features

With its unique metallic sheen and vibrant colour, the Persian Shield makes a fabulous focal point in any plant collection. It’s also fast-growing and great for gifting to fellow plant lovers.

Remember, if you have any more questions or need further assistance, our Mossbot is here to help! You can also reach out to us via our website for more information. Plus, we offer a free plant hospital service if your Persian Shield needs extra care.

Authentic Photos of Our Plants: We take every photo you see, showcasing the actual plants we offer. Each plant is selected randomly unless otherwise stated, adding a touch of surprise to your order.

Natural Variations Make Each Plant Unique: No two plants are the same. Differences in size, leaf count, and minor cosmetic imperfections are part of their charm and individuality, making your plant truly one of a kind.

Healthy Plants, Always: While we can’t guarantee an exact match to the photos, we promise to send only happy, healthy plants that are well-cared for and ready to thrive in your space.

Let Your Plant Settle: Allow your new plant to adjust to its surroundings for 1–2 weeks before repotting, propagating, or making any major changes. This settling-in period reduces stress and helps your plant flourish.

Shipped-in Trusted Potting Mix: Our plants are delivered in a standard grower’s potting mix. When you’re ready to repot, choose from our premium-quality mixes designed specifically for aroids, succulents, and terrariums, available in our shop.

Expert Guidance on Repotting: I’m unsure if it’s time to repot. Check out our article, When to Repot Your Plant, for expert advice on keeping your plant healthy and happy.

Support for Climbing Plants: For Monstera, Philodendron, and Syngonium, add one of our handmade sphagnum moss poles and a watering drip cup. These accessories encourage natural growth, support larger leaves, and keep your plants neat and upright.

Simple Care at Your Fingertips: Every plant includes plant care instructions, and you can scan the QR code on the nursery pot to access detailed guides. For additional help, our Moss Bot is available 24/7 on the website to answer your plant care questions.

Complete Your Plant Setup: Browse our selection of stylish planters, precision pruning tools, watering tools, full spectrum grow lights, eco-friendly pest treatments, organic plant food, and efficient watering accessories. Everything you need for a thriving plant collection is just a click away.
Sustainably Packed with Care: Your plant will arrive safely, packed with reused and environmentally friendly materials. While we take great care to prevent damage, some fragile plants may experience minor leaf loss during transit—but don’t worry, your healthy plants will grow back.
