The Earth Star is a striking plant whose leaves form a star-like rosette. As it grows, new leaves sprout from the centre and the plant gets taller, growing multiple layers of star-shaped foliage! These leaves are stiff, like other Bromeliad species, but unlike some it needs to be watered from the roots rather than a central well. This variety's striped leaves are striking thanks to their bold red stripes, contrasting with the deep green stripes at the centre and edges of the leaves. It can grow well as a pot plant but, thanks to its love of humidity, will benefit from growing in a glass cabinet or terrarium, or in a group of plants where the humidity level will be higher.

Scientific Name
Cryptanthus bivittatus 'Red Star' (hidden flower, double banded, cultivar:red star)

Common Name
Red Star Earth Star, Red Star Starfish Plant, Red-Stripe Star, Earth Star Bromeliad

Origin
Native to Eastern Brazil

Light
Bright, indirect light will be best for this plant. It will benefit from the addition of some direct sun in autumn and winter, to help it through its natural winter dormancy.

Water

Allow the top third of the soil to dry out between waters, and reduce further in autumn and winter.

Humidity
It will accept average room humidity, but this plant will thrive in slightly higher humidity, and will benefit from the introduction of a pebble tray, or from being grown in a terrarium or with a group of plants to raise the humidity level. Avoid radiators which will dry the plant out far too quickly!

Soil
A quick-draining but moisture retentive soil will work well; add coir or a little grit alongside zeolite, or use a mix designed for syngoniums, for best results. Repot every two years in spring as the plant grows.

Food
Feed every four waters in the growing season, reduce to every six in autumn and winter.

Temperature

Ideal temperature is 18-30°C; make sure it does not get colder than 15°C in winter.

Pet-safe
Yes, but too much nibbling won't be good for pets, small humans or the plant! The leaves can also feel sharp, so watch your fingers.

Sprouts Top Tips
These plants can suffer from being overwatered if they are in a location with too little light, so keep an eye on both the water and light level to keep the plant happy. Signs of overwatering include yellowing of older leaves, while too little water can cause leaves to go brown and curl at the edges. If you're putting it in a brighter spot, it's a good idea to introduce it gradually so it gets used to the sun.

Great for everyday use
We use these daily. I buy the complete set then boxes of each to refill. Very sturdy utensils. Size is perfect. Very easy to clean to use after dinner for deserts. Knives work very well and fork ends are sharp enough to stick in your food to eat. Only brand we use now.

Great quality!
These are every bit as good as the more expensive plastic ware. They’re thick and sturdy. I particularly like the cutouts in the handle. They’re easier for me to grip and keep ahold of. Extremely happy with this purchase.
