To be more clear, they're the same species, same plant but a different cultivar or variety. Judging by the similar name, Magicstar is pretty likely a "sport" of Triostar that a plant breeder happened to notice doing something different and cultivated as its own thing. Or it could have been a completely distinct variegated sport of the solid green Stromanthe sanguinea (which is uncommon now in cultivation but pictures of it do exist). Variegation can be highly unstable and some plants will maintain the same pattern as the sport, some won't.
And actually while typing this comment, I did a brief bit bit of digging and found a patent for "Magic Star", called "Valmic" in Australia in 2007 that lists it as a sport of the variety "Stripestar" that was observed in 1999 in the Netherlands and cultivated from there. And on further digging, also found the 2001 Australian patent for 'Triostar' which is also described as a sport of 'Stripestar' which was first cultivated in 1994. If you search the cultivar name and "patent" or "IP" you can usually find a lot of interesting info. Remember that most of what we know and understand about plant varieties is all marketing and if people are trying to make money off of a fancy new plant variety, there's going to be a documented trail to when the variety first surfaced.
This is absolutely way more info than you were ever looking for lol
Thank you for your comment - I now believe I have the solid green stromanthe sanguinea. I have no white flecking or anything on my plant. Makes sense too as I am from Australia. Thanks again for sharing this!
Is the Triostar a chemically induced plant to achieve the pink variegation?
No it is not. 100% natural
It IS the stromanth!! You, my friend are a legend! I adore this plant but it was a potted mix sold at the garden centre. Now I can keep an eye out for more. Thank you thank you thank you x
Love your calatheas. Would love a "Calathea" care video. Keep them coming.
Thanks :) If you check my channel I actually have one :)
This is just one of my favorite plant channels! ❤️🌱
I’ve had the Magic star for five years now and always wondered why it looks so different. Thanks for clearing that up!
Yup waiting for your calathea collection video sooo much!
Thanks for the really good explanation. It took me a while to figure out one of my calathea was a magic star, not a trio star, mostly because it's got some really chunky stripes but it also has all the little speckles. It's really pretty.
Thank you so much for your video, factually I got my first Calathea - Stromanthe today, I was always afraid of their care, but I got a Triostar as a gift today, so I was searching for information, since I don't want to kill it and yours are always superb!
Thank You so much for this info. I was searching all over the internet and finally found this vedio.
Thank you! After searching online and comparing to a Triostar, I see I instead have a magicstar. Now looking forward to it getting as lovely as yours. More Calathea care tip please🤞🏽🙏🏾
I would love videos on both the calatheas and the care of the magicstar as well as the triostar.
Thank you so much. I have bought what I thought was a trio star, and had nooooo idea it was actually a magic star.
Loving your channel and personality and of course your plants are beautiful!😍 A care video would be great cuz I really like watching how people from all different places care for there plants. The more info I get the better I can take care of my plants and if I'm having issues it just gives me more ideas I can try.😉 Thank you for sharing!💚🌱🌿🌞
I love your impression of the Magicstar! 🤣
The panic this video sent me in that my beautiful calathea triostar would lose its variegation or wasn’t a triostar was crazy but I’m glad my triostar is absolutely a triostar
I just went to the shops to get some plant pots for my plant babies... and came across a beautiful calathea magicstar. Why do they have to be so pretty? ... had to take her home obviously. What a beautiful plant!!
I have a Triostar and it's honestly mind-blowing how easy it is to care for, compared to other prayer plants that I've already killed before :D 100% recommend the Triostar!
Great info. I have both. A small stromanthe that is just growing like crazy and a big magic star, which also is growing like crazy!...I thought the big one wasn’t as variegated as the smaller one because it wasn’t getting as much light, now I know! I’m super lucky and live right next to a factory outlet nursery...I purchased my stromanthe for 50p and the magic star for £3! Bargain. Just discovered your videos and subscribed :) x
Thank you, i was looking for a way to identify correctly my Calathea magicstar (and yes, it was labeled C. triostar).
THANK YOU FOR THIS. FINALLY I KNOW!
Thank you I love both of those and you’re so right I’ve got the tri-star and I wanna get the other one
Yes looking for care tips on calathea, ctenanthe, and stromanthe. Make more videos.
After watching this for the second time, I think the shop definitely has the triostar (or tricolor the shop has it called). Wish me luck! 😆
Thank you! Very helpful, just subscribed 💚🌿
Love, love, love 💕 my Stromanthe! It’s my all time favorite because the leaves look like gorgeous FEATHERS!!!
THANK GOD or should i say thank you Kaylee, i own the magicstar one that i love from the bottom of my heart, but impossible to learn its name!
Hi Kaylee 😊 I'm a new subscriber! So I bought recently a plant that I tought was a stromanthe triostar and was watching your video to help me identify it but it has some variegation that yours does not have. And looking at pictures on Pinterest I found that is not a stromanthe or a calathea. It's actually a Ctenanthe oppenheimiana tricolor. It is also really similar to both of these plants!
I've had a triostar for a year, it is a very finicky plant IMO. It was sold to me as a completely different plant type, but that morning star looks amazing.
thank you))! I've got Magicstar!!)) I thought i bought Triostar!!!
GOOOOOOD THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! It's mostly 2 month now that my magicstar is home and I'm still looking for info about lightening and watering and all but can't find. Mostly seems like this plant doesn't even exist. How should I treat her so she can be her best self? (ends of some leaves are very dry.... But she's still growing a lot)
Also I looooove how you talk about magicstar cause where I bought it they didn't make the mistake, and so when I found it a saw a triostar and a magic star near each other (with right name on each) and had to choose between both (I was already buying too much plant to take 2 more) and I felt like "OK but the triostar is soooo much instagrammable, sooo much fancy I should totally have it" + "but God, this one, less white, less showed on internet, she has so much sparkling white dot" and I totally fell in love with her. I have absolutely no regret on buying this one it was a total love at first sight
I now desperately want a magic star. I love the pattern much more than the trio star, but here in the US it seems to be wayyyyy more popular than the magic star. So this will probably be the biggest hunt ever for that beautiful pant
I’ve seen magic star restocked at Home Depot three times. Hopefully you’ll find some.
Did you do a care tips video for these? Waiting on a Triostar arriving and would love to know more.
Oh yes. I had this with calathea lubbersiana. I had an all green one, and no matter how much light it got, it wasn't getting any variegation. I had no idea they may not have it:(
I recently bought a plant that looks 75% like magicstar and 25% triostar. So I'm totally confused and would love a video on how to care for them. It didn't seem to enjoy my living room so I tried the bathroom as some suggested and it's doing better but not great 💗
I LOVE THAT MAGICSTAR!!!!! I have a trio. Shes more green. My fave plant.
Just started watching u great info so so cute thanx
Damn, that’s crazy lmao 🤣 I guess I already know better than to fall for something like that, and I know what to look for when buying plants, but that’s crazy!
Great video 😍
Pls do the care video of both together. I'd like to know more about them.
Now I really want a magic star though!
Both are gorgeous but if we have it in our mind and heart for it to be a certain thing we are disappointed... like think you have tea and it’s coffee
I would jump up and down if you could explain how to care for calathea fusion white compared to other calatheas. And an episode about calatheas in general. I love them 😍 I have 3,or 2.. One of them now has a nother name. / From a follower from the middle of Sweden 😁
Would love to see a care video
Thank you ~
Yes please. It would be really helpfull to have a Cathaleas care video. They’re all drama queens!!!
I think my plant it a ctenanthe oppenheimiana tricolour or never never plant. It's almost between the two visually and could be mistaken for either. I still love my plant! But if you have one that looks similar to these maybe look up ctenanthe oppenheimiana tricolour/never-never plants and see if maybe you have one of those. The never-never will have light silvery bars on the green portion of the variegated leaves, whereas the triostars' green is a little more bold (I'm pretty sure this the best way to tell when they're not flowering).
I I I think I I I love the less vaviegated it s like a ski like the thaï constellation TT
I love calatheas. I have 3 in my collection. I have the magic star, white star and a burle marx. I think my favourite is probably the white star. I would love more but just don't have the room for any more plants.
Is the white star you have a 'majestic'? I just got one. It kind of looks like a vitata but with some blush pink on the stem half.
I just got a very very variegated ... beautiful color. So much of the pink and and burgundy and cream and green. every color like a beautiful I don’t even know. . Aaaaand.... I turned it brown within the same week. I suck at plants so bad.
Anty tip about cleaning the leaves? I have a beauty and healthy 'Magic Star' (it was hard to find the correct name on the internet) but when i see yours :-O
Thank you for this video. I have been trying to find information about my Stromanthe as I thought I was doing something wrong and somehow lost the variegation. Mine looks like half a Triostar and half a Magicstar. I think whoever sold me this plant mixed the two together..
Same happened to me, except i have halv of the plant tricolor and the other half is just green, no spots, nothing, it came like that, and the tricolor part still keeps growing with variegation, thats why I think there might be two plants in one pot sold to me..
very cool....
Yes more info
So I just brought home my Triostar from the greenhouse and upon examination I’ve found the underside of the leaves are variegated as well... lots of white or green striping on the underside of almost all leaves. I might have 1 solid pink/red out of the 30+ leaves on the plant. Is that normal? I’m looking through many, many pictures and I see very few that have any break in the color on the underside. Everything else looks exactly like any other triostar. Any ideas of where to find more information? Perhaps this is a particular variety...
You are Amazing , i have Both , in a Green One i have no variagation at all . so i İ call stromamta triostar and stromanta triostar variagated;) was thinkink why they called a green plant with Grey Line a triosstar.
Oh, my Magicstar looks more like a Triostar. It has a lot of leafs, which are half white/pink but also freckles so i don't think i got a false labeled Triostar.
I have a stromanthe sanguinea Marantacea (I think that's the spelling) and it looks like the less variegated green one. I'm looking up it's care but now I'm confused what it really it.
Can you do a care guide for the magic star please?
Hi I have a triostar and a magic star in the same pot that I brought like this from the plant shop should I leave them in the same pot or transfer them
I personally like the darker non variegated foliage which is why i would choose the calathea magic star over the triostar
Lov calathea😍😍
Hey! OMG thank you SO much for this video! I've been trying to find out exactly what my plant is for the past 2 months lol & now I know!! I've been told it's a Stromanthe to a Triostar. You're so right about minimal information online... My poor Magicstar has been drooping for weeks & I'm not entirely sure what's wrong with him?
Have re-potted & fertilized, have a humidity tray with pebbles underneath yet he's still sad & depressed? Any ideas? I would post a pic but not sure I can via CZcams? Would really appreciate your help/suggestions. Thank you! x
Hey! You are quite welcome! Yeah for some reason the internet doesnt want to acknowlege that these are not the same plant and nobody is talking about it!
So.. about your plant! Does it have crispy tips? Yellow leaves? Do you own any other types of prayer plants? A friend of mine bought a magic star a few weeks ago and thought it was drooping when it was actually just bowing! These plants are part of the prayer plant family which means they move.. a lot!
Also, how do you usually tell if your plant needs water? Do you stick a finger into the soil or do you have something like a moisture probe?
I guess another question is, is it winter where you are? If so then your plant may no longer be getting enough light!
I just bought a true triostar today! She's a very little baby, but absolutely gorgeous! Cost me quite a pretty penny for her too... Lol
Where do you live? I got mine today at my garden center. It has two brown tips but it only was 7,81 euros. It's a little bit smaller than Kaylee's one. I live on Catalunya Spain btw!
@@marywave I'm actually in Canada! Lol. I was able to find one in Ottawa
My problem now is what to call it, triostar or ctenanthe oppenheimiana? Whats the difference?
Is a Stromanthe tricolour the same as a Ctenanthe Triostar?
How can I get these plants in Canada, Fort Smith, NT. X0E 0P0
Love calathia
I think the magic star is prettier because it looks like paint has been dripped onto the leaves, it reminds me of alice in wonderland :)
Thanks for sharing beautiful. You are so sweet and pretty ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have a question:
I have one of these but completely without variegation. Is it still a calathea magic star or is it something different?
I had it for quite a few months and I would love to know what it’s called 😊
It would probably be a Stromanthe Sanguiena !
@@pumulokasaji-nguyen6301 thank you!
just found the magic Star and love it but still want a Triostar, Angel Blessings,
Why do they bow?
I’m
New to house plants and I got the one on my left that you have. I woke up today and the leaves are drooping. I transplanted it yesterday could it be in shock or is it normal for their leaves to bow I guess. Or droop? I also live in Canada its winter right now but my house is always warm but it is dry. I do mist my plants though. Any tips ?
It could be shock but it could also be the Calatheas natural behaviour? They bow their leaves during the day and put them back up at night 😁
You know what that’s exactly what’s happening. I think you’re right :) thanks so much for confirming.
What I can't find is my plant. It's EXACTLY the same as the magic star in every way but the leaves are solid green. No white in any way! It's beautiful but I don't know what kind of calathea it is....help!
calathea rufibarba
Try to search "Stromanthe Thaila", is it the same. Just like the magicstar but fully green.
my magicstar has 5 leaves that are as variegated as triostar leaves!
I got one on clearance at B&Q for £5 🌿👁👄👁
Just bought a mislabelled Triostar(I knew it was a magic star buying it and was looking for one anyway), the seller is aware but is not changing the name as she is about to run out of stock anyway hahaha
My triostar is getting completely white or majority white leaves😕. Does this cause a problem. What should I do to get the correct marking?
you could try depriving it of light. variegated plants get more green when they don't get enough light because they need the green to photosynthesize.
Maybe I should reduce the light. Thanks Lyn.. :)
I am super confused. I would never see the plant on the viewer's right and recognize it as a stromanthe sanguine triostar. Stromanthe sanguine triostars have this creamy super pale pale pink variegation in the leaves and the green of the leaves I would best describe as a deep bluish green in the same way that calathea ornata's leaves are that crazy deep green which really sets off the pale pink and is beautiful. The other plant here has yellow to neon green variegation like a calathea lubbersiana. In fact if someone tried to pass it off as lubbersiana, I would understand that a lot more than as a triostar. I am so sad for people who bought the one wanting the other and that they had apparently never seen an actual stromanthe triostar to be able to tell the difference since it is such a stunning plant.
Ok so I have a triostar, it’s still not that variegated 🤔
Bit i dont hv yet🤣🤣🤣 only hv monstera adansonii
Hi my calathea almost 2days doesnt bow in the morning it was keep close but i just wondering when i bought it on feb9 it was normal like bow thing in morning/day the after 2days it keep close, can u help me about it. Thanks in advance

It’s so hard to find a good buy of triostar, I saw alot in Indonesia webpage that only cost you 1buck for each triostar. T_T
I bought mine from individual owned nursery . It was priced 29 but when I bough it it was little dried and scars, they gave it to me for 14!!! I just re pot it and put it in indirect sunlight ...now it is looking beautiful and I just love how gorgeous this plant is!!!!
KETO SWAG 😫😫 I’m jealous!
Holy cow 5 years ago your still exactly the same. Except your voice sounds younger, and your hair is longer.😂
