Cryptanthus

Cryptanthus, also known as the 'Earth Star', is a popular houseplant in the bromeliad family.  They are epiphytic, meaning they grow on other plants and rocks in their native environments.  

💡 Light: Bright, indirect light.  Avoid afternoon sun.  Too much sun will burn the leaves, and not enough light will result in loss of colors in the leaves. 

💦 Water: Keep soil constantly moist, but never soggy.  Allow the top of the soil to dry out before watering.
