Cryptanthus bivittatus (Earth Star)

Cryptanthus bivittatus " Earth Star " is a bromeliad that remains relatively small, approximately 10-15 cm tall, originating from eastern Brazil. It grows in the ground in relatively dry areas of the savannah and not in the rainforest as an epiphyte, unlike many other bromeliads, which is why Cryptanthus are often called "earth stars".
The coarse, thick leaves serve as a water reserve.
