The Trinette Plant (Trinette scurrula) is a tropical evergreen shrub that is native to the rainforests of Central and South America. It can grow up to 10 feet tall and has a moderate growth rate. The Trinette Plant is a low-maintenance plant that is drought-tolerant and only requires occasional watering. It thrives in bright, indirect sunlight and is a great choice for adding some tropical flair to a sunny spot in your home or garden. Its glossy, deep green leaves and clusters of small, yellow spots make it a stylish and attractive addition to any indoor or outdoor space.
Frequently Asked Questions
How to Plant & Care for Trinette in Florida
Choose Sun + Spacing
Most Florida plants prefer full to partial sun. Check mature width and space accordingly so plants don’t crowd as they fill in.
Dig Wide, Not Deep
Dig a hole 2–3x wider than the container and slightly shallow. This encourages roots to spread outward into native soil.
Plant at Proper Height
Remove from the pot, loosen circling roots, and plant with the root ball level to slightly above grade.
Water to Establish
Water deeply right after planting. For the first 10–14 days, consistent moisture is critical—don’t let the root ball dry out.
Mulch + Light Maintenance
Apply 2–3 inches of mulch (keep off the stem). Once settled, light trimming encourages fuller growth.

I have ordered multiple times and every plant I have gotten has been above expectations with health and fullness. The customer service is excellent! I am kind of blown away at how great this company is and will continue to use this as my main plant connection.
