The Fire Mystic Red Earth Star Plant (Cryptanthus) is a striking houseplant known for its stunning red, scarlet, and deep pink rosettes. Each leaf forms a symmetrical pattern with wavy edges and fine teeth, giving the plant a unique star-like shape. During the growing season, delicate white flowers emerge from the plant’s center, adding subtle elegance to this bold foliage.
This easy-to-grow plant thrives between 60°F-85°F and can tolerate temperatures as low as 40°F or as high as 100°F. Perfect for indoor environments, the Fire Mystic Red Earth Star adapts well to bright, indirect light but can also handle partial sunlight.
