History of the Cryptanthus 'Rubin Star'
Cryptanthus 'Rubin Star', also known as earth star, is a fascinating, compact bromeliad from the tropical rainforests of Brazil. This special variety impresses with its star-shaped, ruby-red to pink leaves, which are arranged in a dense rosette and give any room a sparkling accent. Thanks to its extraordinary look and easy-care nature, it is a popular eye-catcher not only as a classic houseplant but also in terrariums.
Care as a houseplant:
- Light: Bright spot with plenty of indirect light; direct sunlight should be avoided, as it can bleach the intense colours.
- Temperature: 18–26 °C is optimal; temperatures should not fall below 15 °C.
- Humidity: High humidity is ideal – regular misting promotes healthy growth.
- Substrate: A free-draining, slightly humus-rich substrate, for example a mix of potting soil and perlite, provides optimal conditions for the roots.
- Watering: Water moderately, only once the top layer of soil is dry; be sure to avoid waterlogging.
- Feeding: During the growing season, feed every 4–6 weeks with a liquid fertiliser suitable for bromeliads or foliage plants.
- Special features: As a compact houseplant, Cryptanthus 'Rubin Star' takes up little space and adds a decorative splash of colour to any room with its bright, ruby-red leaves.
Care as a terrarium plant:
- Light: Bright, indirect light or suitable grow lights; avoid direct, intense sunlight to preserve the intensity of the colours.
- Temperature: Ideal terrarium temperatures are 20–26 °C; stable, warm conditions promote growth.
- Humidity: Very high humidity (70–90%) is essential in a terrarium; regular misting or a built-in fogger ensures optimal conditions.
- Substrate: A free-draining, moisture-retaining terrarium substrate, for example a mix of high-quality potting soil, perlite and some coconut fibre, supports root development.
- Watering: Keep the substrate evenly moist but avoid waterlogging; regular, gentle misting in a closed terrarium ensures constant moisture.
- Feeding: During the growing season, feed every 4–6 weeks with a lightly dosed liquid fertiliser specifically for bromeliads to support strong leaf growth.
Overwintering tips:
In winter, watering should be reduced, as growth slows down. Make sure that temperatures do not drop below 15 °C, and ensure that the plant – whether as a classic houseplant or in a terrarium – is in a bright, draught-free spot. This way, Cryptanthus 'Rubin Star' keeps its impressive leaf colouring and stays healthy.
