Now I know why this Cryptanthus is so rare. It's Very slow.
I was hoping for offsets by now.
Maybe its slow because of the way I grow it. I don't want it to rot, so I careful with the water. Plus they were not very well rooted to start with. I do think they look better with more silver on them.
In the background is Cryptanthus
warasii.

What do you use in your soil for growing cryptanthus?
The Cryptanthus leopoldo-horstii that I have are in the same pots and soil mix they came in. But when the time comes to repot them I'll use the same mix that all my dyckia's go in. One part peat and 3 parts perlite. I also use it for Cryptanthus warasii.
