The Pink Earth Star Plant (Cryptanthus) is a vibrant houseplant that adds a pop of color to any room. Known for its succulent leaves with wavy edges and banded pink and cream stripes, this compact plant forms rosettes that create a star-like appearance. Nestled in the plant’s center, small white flowers bloom occasionally, enhancing its ornamental charm.
Adaptable to a wide temperature range from 40°F to 100°F, the Pink Earth Star thrives in warm indoor settings. Its optimum growth temperature is between 60-85°F. While this plant prefers a bright, sunny location, it can tolerate partial shade, making it an ideal choice for indoor gardeners. Keep the soil evenly moist without letting it dry out or become waterlogged to maintain its lush appearance.
With minimal effort, new pups (offsets) grow at the base, which can be easily separated to propagate new plants, expanding your collection effortlessly. The Pink Earth Star suits offices, homes, and indoor gardens, bringing both beauty and ease of care to any space.
