Red 'Earth Star' Cryptanthus | USA-grown | Shipped with care in a 3.5 inch container
The Cryptanthus 'Earth Star' or 'Starfish Plant' is a terrestrial species of the Bromeliad family. This rosette, star-shaped houseplant originates from Eastern Brazil and loves humidity. Clinging to the ground surface like a fallen star, this species is low-growing and features serrated, triangular leaves with bright color. Striping runs through each leaf and contrasts the plant's dominant color. Endemic to Brazil, Cryptanthus plants live on rain forest floors and are accustomed to humidity. Unlike other Bromeliads, 'Earth Stars' are soil-growing and develop foliage close to the ground. These plants exist underneath forest canopies in a natural habitat, areas where sunlight is dispersed through vegetation. Easy to grow and maintain, it's a favorite, reliable houseplant for gardeners of any skill. Your red 'Earth Star' Cryptanthus will arrive in a black, 3.5 inch container. At full maturity, it can reach 6 inches tall and 15 inches wide. Each of our Cryptanthus are hand-selected, so you may receive a plant that varies somewhat in appearance from our photos.
We take every precaution to package your plants for a successful arrival. Cryptanthus are resilient, although more fragile varieties may experience minimal damage in-transit. Every so often a package will endure some stress, causing some soil or plants to come loose. Should soil disruption occur, simply put the loose soil back in the pot and dampen it. To stabilize the plant, gently push soil around the base.

A rosette Bromeliad that resembles a starfish.This red 'Earth Star’ Cryptanthus grows vibrant, serrated foliage with longitudinal stripes in the shape of a loose rosette. Resembling a starfish, this standout plant is sure to play a starring role in terrariums and among other houseplants. |
Impressive, yet low-maintenance.Once established, 'Earth Stars' are relatively drought-tolerant. Light, periodic waterings are recommended when their soil is dry to the touch, and they appreciate being misted occasionally. They are moderately slow growers that have the potential to bloom a small, white flower as they mature. |
Healthy. Happy. Hardy.You can expect the hardiest of plants in your order. We're committed to caring for every plant from the time we root them to the moment we ship them to fellow plant lovers like you. |

Plant loses its red vibrant color. Exposure to light is via patio porch glass door. Perhaps it needs direct sunlight!

The Cryptanthus Bivittatus Bromeliads is one of the most attractive ones that you can have. And the American Plant Exchange, the in-house plant company for Amazon, sellers is one of the best ones I’ve seen. I’ve apartment bound because of a severe head injury that causes me to randomly black out so no walks by myself, so I’m raising lots of plants here, some fifty right now. There’s even three very small palm trees courtesy of a friend who went to a writers conference in Miami and saw the sproutlings all over the ground.
All of the ones I’ve gotten from the American Plant Exchange have been both reasonably priced and top knot has in condition, be it the bromeliads or the banana tree that’s growing nicely right now. This one came with perfect leaves and a very nice root system. I would say with confidence that you can purchase any of the the American Plant Exchange plants and be happy with them.
