They are a type of Bromeliad (same family as pineapples) The name is derived from the Greek cryptos, meaning 'hidden' and anthos, meaning 'flower'. Tiny white to pink flowers are born in the crown of the plant when it reaches full maturity. The Cryptanthus species is native to the rain forests of South America. Cryptanthus it is an old terrestrial bromeliad. which took the indoor foliage industry by storm several decades ago, and for a considerable time it was the 'It', must have house plant. But times and tastes changed, interior foliage plants lost popularity for a time, and other new and interesting cultivars, including a reverse that is named 'Ti', ie, reverse of 'It'. 'It' grows large for a Crypanthus, reaching a height of 12 -14 inches. When the small white flowers appear in the crown, it signals the end of the life cycle for body of that plant as they only bloom once in their lifetime. But don't be sad, because the flowers also signal the that the next generation of 'pups' is on the way and soon new little plantlets will begin to push up around the old base. Cryptanthus It has unique color changing foliage, the variegated leaves will fluctuate from a darker olive to bronze green color to vibrant reddish pink depending on the light level. . Earth Stars are a good choice for busy and neglectful gardeners. They make a great gift for a beginning grower due to their ability to survive with very little maintenance or care;.
