Cryptanthus Bivittatus Bromeliad Lose

Native plant from Brazil that is part of the bromeliad family and establishes itself in mountainous regions; it very often grows in rock crevices.

Usually, the plants are quite small and form low, very flattened rosettes.

Its leaves have a leathery texture and grow in a rosette, overlapping in a way that resembles stars.

Its leaves have a very particular striped pattern, mainly in cream color with pink shades, and a central stripe along with another on the edges in olive green, which turns somewhat reddish due to the effect of cold or sun.

There are diverse varieties and hybrids that boast beautiful and striking colorations on their leaves.

The colors fade due to a lack of light, so it requires a formidable amount of light, but diverted from direct sun to maintain an intense coloration.

The edges are almost always somewhat wavy and usually bear small thorny elements.


Bark support not included.
