Description
Here’s a care guide for Cryptanthus ‘Novelties Yasira’ to help it thrive:
Light
- Bright, indirect light is ideal. While it can tolerate lower light, bright light enhances the vivid colors in its leaves.
- Avoid direct sunlight, as it may scorch the leaves.
Watering
- Water lightly but keep the soil consistently moist (not soggy). Cryptanthus are sensitive to overwatering and root rot.
- A gentle misting every few days helps maintain the necessary humidity, but be cautious not to over-saturate the plant.
Humidity
- High humidity (60%+) is best for vibrant, healthy foliage. Place the plant in a humid room or near a humidity tray or use a room humidifier.
Soil
- Use a well-draining, airy potting mix like a bromeliad or orchid mix, with some peat moss or perlite for moisture control.
Temperature
- This tropical plant prefers temperatures between 60-80°F (15-27°C). Avoid exposing it to temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
Fertilizing
- Feed monthly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer.
Tips
- Remove any browning or dying leaves to encourage healthy new growth.
- Repot every 1-2 years if the plant outgrows its pot, but be gentle with its shallow roots.
