Strobilanthes dyeriana 'Persian Shield'

I truly think Persian Shield is one of the most beautiful foliage there is, not many posts today, I suspect everyone is watching the news. Trump sure knows how to make our country look bad #fromabove

Love that plant. Trump not so much.....wait, not at all. ☹️

@philstalder two weeks from now should be better. What a day today though. Agreed, Trump, not so much

The #persian-shield is a perfect foliage for #foliagefriday #bestofnovember #bestof2020

Mine looks like trash

Beautiful, so lush 🌿🌿🌿

Do a cutting @heatherdirtyhands and start all over. Mine is only 7 months old. There easy to clone with a cutting in water, and a nice south facing windows fo 3 weeks. Bada bing, bada bang, new plant

Pulled this #persian-shield out so I could raise the height of the #peace-lily to fill the space better. I knew the Persian Shield was tall but I didn’t know it was that tall.

Wow I thought they were like ground covers. That’s amazing. Now I have to get one. 👍 @docthrill

And cuttings take so well and quickly! @philstalder

Ooh that’s beautiful... pity you can’t send cuttings to the UK!🤪

Now it’s time for a #persian-shield cloning

Gorgeous 😍

dibs! ☝🏻🥰

It’s for you Sarah @saguaro

How do you propagate it? I bought 4. I’d love to make more to share.

A cutting in water just what you see in the picture @Racheltheredhead wait for a good amount of roots then put it soil. You can also use rooting powder put it in soil and dome for a few weeks.

You can definitely tell that our plants are very happy after there fall fertilizer dose. There colors are incredible. #foliagefriday

Wow, what fertilizer do you use. Amazing 🤩

Light doses of miracle grow @philstalder I always less than recommended measure to feed them. Let the lava rocks I put in the bottom of every pot do there think. Volcanic materials and soil is the best on the planet. I noticed right away, when I started using lava rock the plants were doing so much better. I either pot it in the bottom of pots or on top of the soil

Oh ok thanks. I put a few inches of pumice in the bottom of my new succulent bowls. I haven’t fertilized this year so thanks for the info. All your plant look amazing. 👍

Interesting, where do you get them?

I have a specialty nursery a few miles from my house. @lesliecole49 they specialize in hard to find plants

The lava rocks....?

Help me identify this plant my neighbor gave this pretty little thing today but he didn’t know what it was. Nor do I !

I'm no good with these things but it's similar to a Persian shield

#strobilanthesdyeriana #persian-shield agree with @jaynehynesburton

Thanks Shaz 😊 @shaz831

#persianshield

No idea. But it's a lovely colour

I love this! I can't keep them alive though! 💜💜💜

@KeriSamuel they have to kept in a very humid environment is the trick. My garden house is just that. It only had one vent and the watering of my food plants in the ground every morning or event provide the needed humidity.

A great terrarium plant if you don’t have a green house
