Cryptanthus Earth Star Plant

Bring bold colour and texture to your indoor jungle with the Cryptanthus Earth Star, a compact bromeliad that forms a flat, star shaped rosette of patterned leaves. Depending on the variety and lighting, colours can range from pink and silver to bronze and deep red tones, making every plant feel like a living piece of design. It is a brilliant choice for terrariums, vivariums, shelves, and gift sets.

Why you will love it

  • Easy care and beginner friendly

  • Pet-friendly

  • Slow growing and stays compact

  • Ideal for terrariums and vivariums

  • Great for gifting

  • Loved by bromeliad collectors

Earth Stars are made for warm, humid spaces, so they really shine in terrariums, bathrooms, and bright kitchens. They also look amazing on open shelves where their dramatic shape adds instant structure. Unlike many statement plants, Cryptanthus stays neat and low, so it works beautifully in smaller containers and display bowls.

Each plant is individually selected from current stock. Colour, leaf pattern, and shape can vary naturally, and light levels can deepen the tones over time, so your Earth Star may look slightly different to the photos.

Your plant is shipped securely in a nursery pot, packed using recyclable and reused materials. Every plant comes with a scannable QR code on the pot for full care support anytime.

  • 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.
