Pink '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 pink '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 pink '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. |

Tiny but what a beautiful plant
It's much smaller than what I was expecting but it was really pretty. Packaged well and arrived healthy and beautiful and I particularly loved the vibrant color.

Beautiful plant. Packaging was great, no mess and quick shipping. I haven’t been able to check if it’s rooted yet because I’ve been receiving a lot of unrooted plants from Amazon, but this seems healthy.
Update: I have two of these and both has lost its color despite being in good lighting conditions. It has a flower growing now, but the loss of color makes the plant a little appealing to me.
#2: after grow light therapy, plant is redder than I received it. Just needs high, high light at about 12 hrs a day. Had roots when received. Great plant and the only bromeliad I like.

Plant was dead on arrival. No return or replacement policy. Just out the money. Hope everyone else has better luck.

I ordered this on July 15th, it arrived in perfect condition today, July 19th. It was wrapped with a plastic, draw string bag that kept all the soil in & damp. It had paper packing all around it & all the leaves were in excellent condition. I gave it some water & set in a window until I pot it. It's gorgeous & the color is absolutely stunning. I'm so pleased. There were no instructions, no notes or anything so you're left on your own to figure out how to take care of it, but there are plenty of instructions online, simple. I would purchase again.
