The Earth Star is a striking plant whose leaves form a star-like rosette. As it grows, new leaves sprout from the centre and the plant gets taller, growing multiple layers of star-shaped foliage! These leaves are stiff, like other Bromeliad species, but unlike some it needs to be watered from the roots rather than a central well. This variety's striped leaves are striking thanks to their bold red stripes, contrasting with the deep green stripes at the centre and edges of the leaves. It can grow well as a pot plant but, thanks to its love of humidity, will benefit from growing in a glass cabinet or terrarium, or in a group of plants where the humidity level will be higher.

Scientific Name
Cryptanthus bivittatus 'Red Star' (hidden flower, double banded, cultivar:red star)

Common Name
Red Star Earth Star, Red Star Starfish Plant, Red-Stripe Star, Earth Star Bromeliad

Origin
Native to Eastern Brazil

Light
Bright, indirect light will be best for this plant. It will benefit from the addition of some direct sun in autumn and winter, to help it through its natural winter dormancy.

Water

Allow the top third of the soil to dry out between waters, and reduce further in autumn and winter.

Humidity
It will accept average room humidity, but this plant will thrive in slightly higher humidity, and will benefit from the introduction of a pebble tray, or from being grown in a terrarium or with a group of plants to raise the humidity level. Avoid radiators which will dry the plant out far too quickly!

Soil
A quick-draining but moisture retentive soil will work well; add coir or a little grit alongside zeolite, or use a mix designed for syngoniums, for best results. Repot every two years in spring as the plant grows.

Food
Feed every four waters in the growing season, reduce to every six in autumn and winter.

Temperature

Ideal temperature is 18-30°C; make sure it does not get colder than 15°C in winter.

Pet-safe
Yes, but too much nibbling won't be good for pets, small humans or the plant! The leaves can also feel sharp, so watch your fingers.

Sprouts Top Tips
These plants can suffer from being overwatered if they are in a location with too little light, so keep an eye on both the water and light level to keep the plant happy. Signs of overwatering include yellowing of older leaves, while too little water can cause leaves to go brown and curl at the edges. If you're putting it in a brighter spot, it's a good idea to introduce it gradually so it gets used to the sun.

Pretty Good
Color: Red Nylon Yellow Hotdog
The toy is good for a heavy chewer, but is very slippery. You may want to rough it up a bit before giving it to your dog so they can hold onto it.

WARNING - EXTREMELY SHARP AREAS
Color: Yellow Nylon Corn on the Cob, Color: Yellow Nylon Corn on the Cob
UPDATE: The 2nd one I ordered was exactly the same with the sharp parts in the same areas as the first one. I cannot stress enough that a few points are sharp enough to cut or badly scratch. So if you’re planning on putting some food on it so your pup can lick, this is not the product you want! This could still scratch or cut the gums if used as a chew toy too though. I was thinking about sanding the sharp points but then I have no idea if that exposes any chemicals somehow? Really wanted this to work out! I took this corn on the cob toy out of the plastic to wash it and before I even got to the sink I realized there were several areas that are super sharp. A few sharp enough that could cut or badly scratch! It was sealed in a plastic bag and shows no signs of being used so this defect must happen at the manufactures level. I added a video showing how easily it snags a cotton ball, cotton pad and even a beanie. Please thoroughly check your item before giving it to your pup! I was so excited to put some smashed banana on this thing and give it to my guy and thank god I checked it first! I’m going to return it and see if a 2nd one is any better and I’ll update if it is or isn’t. Also, the super sharp spots were very hard to photograph which is why I added the video.
