Earth Star Plant Care: How To Repot Cryptanthus
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 фев 2022
- I repot a cryptanthus bivittatus. This is a type of terrestrial bromeliad and its care is a bit different than other bromeliad genera. Cryptanthus are also known as Earth Stars since they are star shaped and found terrestrially (near the earth).

I just bought one and I'm so excited... it will be here next week
Yay!!! I'm sure you'll love it. I have two now and adore them!
I love the Earth Star plant name and this was a great video with so many helpful tips and details about it and how to repot it! Thank you! Even my 6 year old daughter was interested to listen and learn and watched this whole video with me!!!
Thanks so much! I'm glad the video was engaging for all ages 😃
We just bought one and I will keep you posted. Thank you ❤
Good luck with this beauty!!
Nice plants. Nice flowers on cactus and I see buds on that other plant
Thanks, some of my cacti are starting to flower with the warm weather we have had. But we are about to get a cold snap the next few days 🥶
Thanks for this video. My son bought this plant (Bromeliad Cryptantus Elaine) for me for Mothers Day. It's been 5 months and it's still alive, so I guess that's a good thing. Although I think I have been making so mistakes. I have had mine near Sansi grow lights, thinking that they love bright light. I am finding out now, that it should be filtered indirect light. Maybe that's why my leaves have lost most of it's bright pink color? Also, the soil or substrate needs to be moist. I was letting mine dry out, thinking because of it's hearty leaves. So many mistakes, wow, this is one forgiving plant!
That's right Anita, when the leaves go green this is a sign that the plant could use a bit more light to bring out the pink color. It sounds like you're figuring out this plant quite well. Keep up the good work! I love this plant.
I'm actually editing an updated video on the Crptanthus right now. I'm hoping to upload it in the next week or so. Stay tuned for that. I did mention the leaf color relation to light and soil properties in upcoming video, so hopefully you'll be able to get more info from it. Thanks so much for watching and commenting and I hope you have a great week!
I just adopted 2 of these plants today and they are so pretty the top fell off and I a thought for a moment it was fake because it’s so still😂😂
I totally can see that! Good luck with your new Cryptanthus.
