Rudimentaries
Nourishment
Your Cryptanthus does not require frequent fertilizing. A dose of Growtabbs™ once every 3 months should meet its demands. Just ensure the soil drains well and doesn't get overly moist or soggy.
Repotting
Cryptanthus does not grow very fast and repotting is rarely needed. If the plant survives well then after a couple of years you may repot your Cryptanthus into a bigger one.
Rays of Sunshine
Cryptanthus prefer indirect and steady sunlight. They can tolerate high light as well but direct sunlight should be avoided to prevent scorching and bleaching of the leaves.
Viable Locations
Any spot that receives good steady bright light is perfect. Pair them with orchids or other succulents for an aesthetically pleasing effect.
Water Levels
Your plants will arrive in a self-watering pot adept at safeguarding a continually moist potting medium. If the soil appears to be dry, gently lift the black inner container to check the reservoir's water level. If the reservoir is nearly empty, add 150-175 mL of water to the soil from the top.
