Pet Friendly

How should I care for the plant to maintain its vibrant pink colour?: Provide bright, indirect light to enhance the pink hue of the leaves. If the foliage appears pale, increasing light exposure can deepen the colour quite rapidly.
Is this plant suitable for a terrarium environment?: Yes, its small size and preference for humid conditions make it ideal for terrariums. Ensure it has well-drained soil and indirect light within the terrarium.
Can the Cryptanthus Earth Pink Ruby live alongside my pets safely?: Absolutely, this plant is pet-friendly, making it a worry-free choice for households with pets.

☀️ Light

☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)

The Cryptanthus Earth Pink Starlight thrives in bright, indirect light. Placing it near a window that receives filtered sunlight will help maintain the vibrant pink colour of its leaves. Avoid direct sunlight as it may scorch the leaves.

💧 Water

💧💧▫️ (Medium)

This plant prefers consistent moisture but doesn’t like to be waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Reduce watering during the winter months.

🌡️ Temperature

🌡️🌡️▫️ (Average)

The ideal temperature for your Earth Pink Starlight is between 18°C and 24°C. It’s quite tolerant but try to keep it away from draughty areas and extreme cold.

💧 Humidity

💧💧▫️ (Moderate)

This tropical beauty enjoys a bit of humidity. Regular misting or placing it in naturally humid areas like kitchens or bathrooms can help it thrive.

🌱 Repotting

This plant is quite content in its current pot for a while. Repot every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its pot. Use a well-draining soil mix to prevent water retention.

🐾 Pet Friendliness

This plant is non-toxic and safe around your furry friends. Feel free to place it in areas accessible to pets.

🏡 Recommended Locations at Home

The Cryptanthus is perfect for adding a splash of colour to desks, shelves, or terrariums. Its compact size makes it ideal for small spaces.

Authentic Photos of Our Plants: We take every photo you see, showcasing the actual plants we offer. Each plant is selected randomly unless otherwise stated, adding a touch of surprise to your order.

Natural Variations Make Each Plant Unique: No two plants are the same. Differences in size, leaf count, and minor cosmetic imperfections are part of their charm and individuality, making your plant truly one of a kind.

Healthy Plants, Always: While we can’t guarantee an exact match to the photos, we promise to send only happy, healthy plants that are well-cared for and ready to thrive in your space.

Let Your Plant Settle: Allow your new plant to adjust to its surroundings for 1–2 weeks before repotting, propagating, or making any major changes. This settling-in period reduces stress and helps your plant flourish.

Shipped-in Trusted Potting Mix: Our plants are delivered in a standard grower’s potting mix. When you’re ready to repot, choose from our premium-quality mixes designed specifically for aroids, succulents, and terrariums, available in our shop.

Expert Guidance on Repotting: I’m unsure if it’s time to repot. Check out our article, When to Repot Your Plant, for expert advice on keeping your plant healthy and happy.

Support for Climbing Plants: For Monstera, Philodendron, and Syngonium, add one of our handmade sphagnum moss poles and a watering drip cup. These accessories encourage natural growth, support larger leaves, and keep your plants neat and upright.

Simple Care at Your Fingertips: Every plant includes plant care instructions, and you can scan the QR code on the nursery pot to access detailed guides. For additional help, our Moss Bot is available 24/7 on the website to answer your plant care questions.

Excellent package and delivery. The moss is ideal for forcing my Christmas bulb gifts and the potted plant is beautiful and a welcome addition to my collection. Will be returning and adding gift cards for Highland moss to my birthday and Christmas lists. An outstanding find and highly recommend.
