Stelis — frequently asked questions

Are Stelis plants toxic to cats and dogs?

Most Stelis are pet-safe. Of the 11 Stelis species we cover, 11 are non-toxic on the ASPCA list and 0 carry a toxic or mildly-toxic rating. Even so, confirm the individual species before trusting it around pets.

How much light do Stelis plants need?

Most Stelis do best in medium indirect light. If yours stretches toward the window or loses its variegation it wants more light; scorched or bleached leaves mean it is getting too much direct sun.

Are Stelis easy to care for?

Many Stelis are beginner-friendly — they tolerate lower light and forgiving watering. Water to how fast the pot actually dries rather than a fixed calendar and most will thrive.
