{"product_id":"cryptanthus-rubin-star","title":"Cryptanthus 'Rubin Star'","description":"Cryptanthus 'Rubin Star' is a striking terrestrial bromeliad prized for its deep burgundy and crimson foliage that intensifies with bright, indirect light. Native to the tropical rainforests of Brazil, this compact plant thrives in warm, humid environments and makes an exceptional choice for terrariums, vivariums, and humid indoor displays.\n\nThis cultivar features rosette-forming leaves with distinctive star-like patterning and rich coloration that deepens as the plant matures. Unlike many bromeliads, Cryptanthus species are ground-dwelling and prefer consistently moist (not waterlogged) soil with excellent drainage. They excel in bright, filtered light and benefit from high humidity—misting or placement near a humidifier encourages vibrant color development.\n\nCryptanthus 'Rubin Star' produces delicate white flowers nestled within the rosette, though the foliage remains the primary ornamental feature. The plant's compact size makes it ideal for plant collections, shelf displays, and mixed plantings. It pairs beautifully with ferns, peperomias, and other shade-loving tropical plants.\n\nCare is straightforward: provide warm temperatures (65–75°F), bright indirect light, and allow soil to dry slightly between waterings. Feed monthly during the growing season with diluted, balanced fertilizer. This Brazilian native rewards attentive care with stunning color and long-term visual interest, making it a standout addition to any plant enthusiast's collection.","brand":"Jordan's Jungle","offers":[{"title":"2.5\" Pot","offer_id":48345910444254,"sku":null,"price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"4\" Pot","offer_id":48345906708702,"sku":null,"price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/3193\/files\/D70B22FE-6DF2-4152-8C91-B5B3A126E1C7.jpg?v=1781816186","url":"https:\/\/jordansjungle.net\/products\/cryptanthus-rubin-star","provider":"Jordan's Jungle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
