Cryptanthus Pink Star in Terracotta

LIGHT: Your Bromeliad prefers medium to bright indirect light. Insufficient light will cause growth to slow.

WATER: Allow soil to dry 75-100% between waterings. When watering, water thoroughly until water comes out of the drainage hole, and then empty excess out of the saucer so that your plant isn’t sitting in water.

HUMIDITY: Your Bromeliad will appreciate added humidity but will tolerate average household humidity. Increase humidity by misting, adding a pebble tray, or using a humidifier.

TEMPERATURE: Your bromeliad prefers temperatures between 60-80°F.

FERTILIZER: Bromeliads are similar to air plants in that they take in nutrients through their foliage. Use a foliar fertilizer spray on your Bromeliad 1-2 times a month during spring and summer. You can use a foliar spray made for orchids or air plants.

TOXICITY: Bromeliads are not known to be toxic but may cause contact dermatitis or allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.

ADDITIONAL CARE: If your plant is in ideal conditions it should begin growing pups off the side of the mother plant. Eventually, the mother plant will die off and be replaced by these pups. This is a natural part
