Delivery Information View Product DescriptionLoading...Description How to Grow More Info DeliveryCryptanthus bivittatus 'Pink Starlight' is a colourful variety of the Earth Star or Starfish Plant, as it is better known. The tapering foliage is variegated bronze and pink when young, before slowly maturing to dark olive green and pink. These unusual tropical bromeliads are ideal for bringing a bright splash of colour to your terrarium, where it will gradually form a pleasing star-shaped rosette of leaves. Cryptanthus enjoys a bright spot, away from the scorch of strong sunlight. This Bromeliad is perfectly adapted to high humidity, so it makes a superb choice for the kitchen or bathroom! Height: 15cm (6"). Spread: 20cm (8").
Please note: Some houseplants are toxic or harmful to pets if ingested. If you believe your pet has consumed a poisonous plant then seek veterinary attention immediately. Take a sample of the plant with you.
Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

Cryptanthus enjoy a warm, bright room with good humidity and a minimum temperature of 15C (60F). Position them in good light away from the direct glare of the sun. Cryptanthus enjoy high humidity - this is best achieved by regularly spraying the foliage with rain water.Water frequently to maintain evenly moist compost. Reduce watering during the winter months, but do not allow the compost to dry out completely. House plants should be fed regularly between March and September when they are in active growth. Use a heavily diluted solution of a balanced fertiliser. These Bromeliads will benefit from regular misting to increase humidity.Seeds and garden supplies will normally be delivered within the time period stated against each product as detailed above.
