{"product_id":"strobilanthes-persian-shield","title":"Strobilanthes Persian Shield","description":"\u003cp\u003ePersian Shield (Strobilanthes dyeriana) is all about drama and shine, with broad, lance-shaped leaves shimmering in metallic purple and deep green. The foliage catches the light with an almost iridescent glow, showing off dark veining and a velvety texture that looks incredible on a side table, plant stand or as the hero in a mixed display. It’s the kind of plant that turns heads even from across the room, bringing bold colour where most houseplants play it safe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerfect for anyone wanting to break up a sea of green, Persian Shield offers a lush, tropical feel without being overly demanding. Give it warmth, humidity and decent light, and it will reward you with fast, bushy growth and that signature electric-purple foliage that looks good all year round.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"height: 235.125px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 39.1875px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 39.1875px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePosition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 39.1875px;\"\u003eBright, indirect light is ideal; a spot near a window with filtered light will help maintain strong purple colour.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 39.1875px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 39.1875px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 39.1875px;\"\u003ePrefers warm conditions of 18–26°C; keep above 10–12°C and away from draughts or cold windows.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 58.7812px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 58.7812px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 58.7812px;\"\u003eKeep the potting mix lightly and consistently moist; water when the top 2–3 cm feels just dry and avoid letting it fully dry out or sit in soggy soil.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 39.1875px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 39.1875px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFertiliser\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 39.1875px;\"\u003eFeed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every 3–4 weeks during the warmer growing months; no need to fertilise in winter.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 39.1875px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 39.1875px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRepotting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 39.1875px;\"\u003eRepot annually or when roots fill the pot, ideally in spring, using a rich, free-draining potting mix.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePet Friendly\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eStrobilanthes are Pet Friendly\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMay also be known as:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Persian Shield Plant, Royal Purple Plant, Strobilanthes dyeriana, Strobilanthes dyerianus\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe pictures are a representation of the size, colour and condition of the plant you will receive.
