How to Care for a Cryptanthus Earth Star Plant

Hi Erica,
Earth Star Plant – Cryptanthus – Pink Star Plant
Your plant is called a Cryptanthus ‘Pink Star’ (Earth Star Plant) which is a type of Bromeliad. Indirect bright light and temperatures between 60°-85° are best. Unlike most Bromeliads, the Earth Star Plant likes moist and humid conditions. This is especially important when you are using heat or air conditioning in your home. Fertilize frequently, but always dilute the plant food to 1/4 the recommended strength. The largest size pot a Cryptanthus will ever require is 5″-6″.
