The Cryptanthus bivittatus 'Red Star' (commonly called Earth Star) is a stunning terrestrial bromeliad known for its low-growing, star-shaped rosette of wavy foliage. Featuring intense bright pink to reddish-crimson leaves striped with dark green, this compact plant thrives in bright indirect light and high humidity. A low-maintenance favorite, it is ideal for indoor containers, terrariums, or warm tropical shade gardens.
