'Red Baron' Cryptanthus bivittatus
Details:
The Cryptanthus bivittatus 'Red Baron' is a striking bromeliad known for its deep red, spiky rosette of leaves that grow close to the ground, creating a bold, eye-catching display. Perfect for tabletops, terrariums, or as a unique accent in any plant collection, the Red Baron brings a pop of color and tropical flair to your home. Native to the tropical rainforests of Brazil, the Red Baron thrives in warm, humid environments and grows directly in soil, unlike many other bromeliads that are epiphytes. Cryptanthus are also called "Earth Stars" due to their star-like shape and terrestrial nature. Their vibrant colors intensify in bright, indirect light, making them a colorful addition to any space!
Care:
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light; however, brighter light enhances the red color.
Water: Keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid water-logging. Water when the top layer of soil feels dry.
Humidity: Thrives in high humidity. Mist regularly or place near a humidity tray to mimic its tropical origins.
Temperature: Ideal temperature range is 60°F-80°F.
*Please note all our plants are one of a kind and may vary slightly from the site photos. Feel free to message us and we can send you a picture of the exact one you will receive.
