Cryptanthus – Pink Star

 

Cryptanthus, commonly known as Earth Star, is a striking bromeliad with low-growing, star-shaped foliage. Its wavy, patterned leaves come in a variety of colors, including green, pink, red, and bronze, making it a vibrant addition to any indoor plant collection. Unlike many bromeliads, Cryptanthus grows best in soil rather than as an epiphyte, making it a unique choice among its relatives.

 

Care Guide:

 

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Some varieties can tolerate lower light but will develop more intense colors in brighter conditions.

 

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Allow the top layer to dry slightly between waterings.

 

Humidity: Thrives in high humidity. Mist regularly or place near a humidifier to prevent leaf drying.

 

Temperature: Grows best in 18–27°C. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 10°C.

 

Soil & Feeding: Use a well-draining potting mix (a mix of peat, perlite, and sand works well). Feed with a diluted liquid fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season.

 

 

With its compact size, bold foliage, and easy-care nature, Cryptanthus is a fantastic choice for small spaces, terrariums, or as a standout houseplant in any collection!
