Bright Star

Description

Murdannia loriformis ‘Bright Star’ is a striking and compact tropical plant, admired for its radiant green leaves adorned with silver-white stripes. Native to Southeast Asia and a member of the Commelinaceae family, this unique variety is beloved for its elegant, grass-like foliage that gently arches from the base, creating a soft, flowing silhouette. With its low-growing form and variegated leaves, Bright Star makes an excellent choice for small planters, tabletops, shelves, or even terrariums.

This plant thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers moist, well-draining soil. While it appreciates humidity, it’s tolerant of average indoor levels and adapts well to household environments. Regular watering when the top inch of soil dries out will keep it happy—overwatering should be avoided to prevent root rot. Occasional misting or placement near a humidifier will promote lush, healthy foliage.

Bright Star is not just attractive—it’s also pet-safe and low-maintenance, making it perfect for plant lovers of all levels, including those with cats or dogs. Its vivid foliage adds brightness and texture to any space, and it has been traditionally recognized in Southeast Asia for its medicinal properties. Whether styled solo or as part of a vibrant indoor garden, Murdannia ‘Bright Star’ brings charm, ease, and gentle color into the home.
