About this plant
Murdannia Bright Star suits indoor spots with bright, indirect light, shade outdoors in the cooler months only. Its pet safety is not confirmed, so check with your vet if you have pets.
Stays in bright, indirect light indoors, and can go into shaded outdoor pots in the cooler months only.
Murdannia Bright Star (Murdannia loriformis 'Bright Star') is a low, clumping plant in the spiderwort family, native to tropical Asia. It forms rosettes of narrow, strap-like leaves striped in green and creamy white, a bit like a compact spider plant. In good light it can send up small lilac-blue flowers.
In Dubai it does best indoors in bright, indirect light, or outdoors in a shaded pot from October to April. It likes evenly moist soil and moderate humidity, so AC-dried rooms can brown the leaf tips if the pot dries out. Summer sun and heat outdoors are too harsh for it, so bring outdoor pots inside or into deep shade by May.
It works on windowsills, desks, kitchen shelves and mixed planters, and its striped leaves contrast well with darker foliage. We offer it at around 20 to 30 cm, in a nursery pot or a ceramic pot.

Care guide for Dubai homes
How to keep Murdannia Bright Star healthy through the Dubai year.
Light
Bright, indirect light; shade outdoors in the cooler months only. Keep it out of harsh direct afternoon sun in summer.
Watering
Every 4–6 days in summer to keep soil lightly moist; every 7 days in winter. Water when the top 2 to 3 cm of soil feels dry, empty the saucer afterwards, and check the soil before you water: AC slows how fast the plant uses water.
Care notes
Soil: Light, moisture-holding potting mix with perlite. Feeding: Half-strength liquid feed once a month from spring to autumn. Common mistake: Leaving it outdoors into the summer, where heat and sun scorch the striped leaves. Where it works: Windowsills, desks, kitchen shelves and winter balcony planters.
AC and air flow
Keep it at least 1 metre from AC vents. Cold air blowing straight onto the leaves dries the edges.
Cleaning the leaves
Dust settles quickly in Dubai homes. Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth every few weeks so they keep taking in light.
Feeding and repotting
Feed once a month from March to October. Repot every 2 years into a pot one size up, or book a Plant Doctor visit and we do it for you.
Pets
Not listed in the ASPCA database (checked under Murdannia, Murdannia loriformis and Bright Star). Check with your vet if you have pets.
