Cryptanthus bivittatus 'Ruby Red' (Earth Star) is effortless to propagate. Unlike many other bromeliads, it produces frequent offset plantlets ("pups") around its base. Propagation involves simply twisting or gently pulling these mature offsets away from the main rosette and potting them up in a well-draining soil mix; they establish roots quickly with basic moisture and light.
