cv. of bivittatus
The first Cryptanthus Species were discovered in eastern Brazil about 1831. Cryptanthus, also known as Earth Stars, earned their name due to their foliage shape. Intense red 'Ruby' color and tight forms of showy clusters, make this plant a must have in this family. Small, upright growths with bright color contrasts, what more can you be looking for in a Cryptanthus. This plant typically attains sizes of between 5" - 6" across. Keep the medium moist at all times. Cryptanthus suffer if they dry out for extended periods.
