Cryptanthus Brown
Cryptanthus Brown
Here’s a complete care guide for Cryptanthus Brown🌿:
🌞 Light
-
Prefers bright, indirect sunlight.
-
Too much direct sun can burn the leaves, while too little light can make the color fade.
-
Ideal spot: near a bright window with filtered light or under grow lights.
🌡️ Temperature
-
Thrives in warm conditions: 18–30°C.
-
Avoid cold drafts and keep away from air conditioners.
-
Never expose below 15°C, as cold can damage the plant.
💧 Watering
-
Keep the soil slightly moist, but never soggy.
-
Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry.
-
Use filtered or rainwater if possible—Cryptanthus is sensitive to hard water.
-
Do not allow water to stagnate in the center rosette; pour water directly onto the soil.
🌫️ Humidity
-
Loves high humidity (60–80%).
-
Mist regularly or place near a humidifier or pebble tray.
-
In dry climates, humidity maintenance is essential for bright leaf colors.
🌱 Soil
-
Use a well-draining, airy mix.
Best mix:-
40% coco peat or sphagnum moss
-
30% perlite
-
30% orchid bark or coarse sand
-
-
You can also use a bromeliad or succulent mix.
🍽️ Fertilizer
-
Feed once a month during the growing season (spring to early autumn).
-
Use a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer (1/4 strength).
-
Avoid over-fertilizing; it can dull leaf color.
🌸 Propagation
-
Propagate via pups (offsets) that grow at the base of the mother plant.
-
Wait until pups are at least 1/3 the size of the mother before separating.
-
Plant them in a similar soil mix and keep slightly moist.
