ABOUT THIS PLANT
Why it belongs at Velora Verde
Cryptanthus brings a different expression of the bromeliad family: low-growing, terrestrial and often highly patterned. It suits growers who enjoy details, compact displays and collector plants with strong visual texture.
Collector noteUnlike tank bromeliads, Cryptanthus is grown for a healthy terrestrial root system and should not be treated like a water-holding Neoregelia.
