Pink Star Bromeliad

Buy Pink Star Bromeliad (Cryptanthus bivittatus) at Metro Turf Garden Center in Bremen, GA. Pink Star earns its name with vibrant pink and green striped leaves that form a low, star-shaped rosette. Wavy leaf edges add texture to this compact and colorful tabletop plant, making it a standout accent in any indoor space throughout West Georgia.

Unlike most bromeliads, the Pink Star Bromeliad is a terrestrial variety — meaning it grows in soil rather than on trees. This makes it easy to pot and care for indoors like a traditional houseplant.

Pink Star Bromeliad Care Guide

• Light: Provide bright indirect light to maintain the best pink coloring. Low light will cause the foliage to fade toward green.
• Water: Allow the surface of the potting mix to begin drying before watering. Keep lightly moist rather than soggy and always drain excess water.
• Humidity: Prefers average to higher indoor humidity. A pebble tray with water or nearby humidifier can help in dry rooms.
• Soil: Use an airy, well-draining potting mix in a pot with drainage holes.
• Feeding: Feed lightly during spring and summer using a houseplant fertilizer at the label rate.
• Temperature: Keep in warm indoor conditions. Protect from frost and cold drafts.
