How to care for your Cryptanthus
LIGHT: Medium to bright indirect sunlight. Avoid direct sun.
WATERING: Likes to be slightly moist at all times. Avoid waterlogging but also do not allow to dry out completely.

FEEDING: Does not require much feeding. Use half strength liquid feed every 3-4 weeks in spring and summer, less in autumn and winter – and only if plants continue to actively grow.

TOXICITY: Safe for pets and people.
OTHER: Pups will develop and can be broken off to give new plants.
