Murdannia loriformis ‘Bright Star’ – Low-Growing Striped Wonder ✨🌿

Murdannia loriformis ‘Bright Star’ is a compact, ground-hugging tropical plant with beautifully striped foliage. Its narrow, lance-shaped leaves feature creamy white to silvery stripes over fresh green, forming neat rosettes that slowly spread. Easy to grow and uniquely eye-catching, it’s ideal for terrariums, hanging pots, or as a stylish trailing accent.

✔ Easy to propagate and fast to establish
✔ Great for terrariums, desktops, or ground cover in tropical planters
✔ Sometimes produces delicate purple or white star-shaped flowers

Care Instructions:

• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light – too little light may fade variegation

• Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity – mist regularly if air is dry

• Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter

• Feeding: Feed monthly in spring and summer with a diluted liquid fertiliser
