☀️ Light
Scale: ☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
The Cryptanthus Zonatus Earth Star flourishes in bright, indirect light. While it can adapt to lower light conditions, more light will enhance the vibrancy of its striking zebra-like stripes.
💧 Water
Scale: 💧💧▫️ (Medium)
Keep the soil consistently moist but ensure it is not soggy. Using filtered or rainwater can yield the best results, helping your Earth Star stay hydrated without overwhelming it.
🌡️️ Temperature
Scale: 🌡️️🌡️️▫️ (Average)
This tropical plant enjoys a typical indoor temperature range. Avoid placing it in draughty areas or near heat sources to maintain a stable environment.
💦 Humidity
Scale: 💦💦💦 (High)
High humidity levels are ideal, mimicking the Earth Star’s native tropical environment. This makes it perfect for setups like terrariums or vivariums where moisture levels are naturally higher.

Cryptanthus Zonatus Earth Star
Great looking cactus.to go with my collection.
Sadly the roots were very poorly developed and the leaves are showing signs of failing a week in – brown marks and looking limp
I thought the gray and pink ones are two different varieties? I like either of them, but just be aware.
Great looking plant!
