I have a Cryptanthus bivittatus "pink starlight" in a Poison Dart Frog Vivarium under a t5 HO grow light and a coral aquarium light and the color and variegation on that plant is flat out indescribable. Has to be the most beautiful thing i have ever seen, seriously.

Extremely beautiful, Cryptanthus are a delight. I love the leaf shape and the colours are sensational. What a wonderful plant!

Such a great video! I recently purchased my first little guy and this video has been so helpful, thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience! It is much appreciated!

i bought 2 Earth Star Bromeliad today and of course I am happy with these little guys! TY ;-))

Got my first one today, Pink Star. 💗 love it!

They're so beautiful!

starting with earth stars garden. this is so inspiring

Omg... I live bromeliads and your collection is jaw dropping. Specially, the one with the red center and the large inner with the Tiger striped leaves. 😍😍😍 I'm definitely adding those to my collection.

Stunning! Your explanation about removing the pup and showing that was very helpful. I have an earth star that had flowered in the spring/summer and has two pups growing. Im worried about the mother plant as we move into winter (in Canada) as there is much less light and dryness, and she's already looking less happy. Is it unwise to move the pups when it's not spring/summer? I'm thinking of using a UV light (filter it somehow) and removing the pups now, but unsure if this is wise.

Where can I find these varieties to purchase? I can only find a couple of them

Just bought a Red Ribbon, and was searching for care guide. Tfs. After watching your vid, I was wondering since the new pups do not have roots and its in soil, do u water it and when? Will the stem rot etc? All I know are succulents so was wondering.

@PictureMaria1

3 жыл бұрын

It can actually take quite a while for roots to develop on the pups so it is key that the stem portion dries out completely. Letting it air dry for a couple of days before planting will assist it. After you’ve planted it you can water it as normal allowing it to dry slightly between watering. You may not notice any root growth for a couple of months but just as long as the plant retains its color and vitality it is still alive and will eventually grow its roots. Just be patient. Thanks so much for watching and wishing you the best with growing your pups. HAPPY GROWING! 🤗

Do you have a favorite place to purchase the more unique Cryptanthus? I live in Hawaii and sometimes have a very limited supply and access. Any advice is welcome 🙏🏽 Thank you, Celina

Love this vid so helpful... I recently got a red One A month ago...but now it’s color is fading and I can’t seem to figure out exactly what kind of light it needs to keep it that deep vibrant red. Been researching everywhere, but I still can’t seem to find an answer. Any tips specifically For the red variety?

@PictureMaria1

3 жыл бұрын

Thanks so much for joining me on my plant growing adventures and I am glad the video benefitted you. 🤗 Usually to get more vibrant colors you have to keep it in brighter light. There are some that actually expose the deep red color because it is actually is a reaction of the plant getting stressed due to intense light. There are many kinds that can tolerate high light conditions while others can not. Usually the thinner papery ones can’t and will burn easily if given too much light. The thicker leaved ones are normally the ones that can tolerate more.

Just thought I would add that sometimes it takes months for the pups to root and I have successfully rooted them both in water or soil. Patience is the key. Don't let them dry out for too long, though they can survive a drought period, keep them consistently moist

What do you suggest about damaged leaves? My bro has like 3 leaves that a cat ate on and it's slightly an eyesore. Produced two separate pups for me recently so I dont wanna do any unnecessary harm to it before they are grown.

@PictureMaria1

4 жыл бұрын

Well I guess it just depends on how strongly you feel about the eyesore. If it were me I would cut off the damaged leaves and call it a day. I have had dying mother bromeliads in terrible shape continue to bloom sets of pups with no problem. I doubt cutting the leaves would stunt or hinder the growth of pups. But that is what I would do if it were me. But of course it is totally your call. Either way I believe that the pups will grow on schedule. I have a video showing how hardy bromeliads are in one of my propagation videos where I show how I used the stem/rhizome with no leaves to produce pups...so they are unbelievably hardy when it comes to pup production.
