Beautiful plant!

I just acquired this cryptanthus, so I can’t predict how it will grow for me, but it is even more striking than it appears in the photo, with its bright colored leaves and impressive size. I’m very pleased with my purchase!

Beautiful Cryptanthus

One of the best cryptanthus that I have purchased from Tropiflora. Large beautiful red edged leaves with olive green centers.

Yes, Living Colors Is Well Named!

I love Cryptanthus and lean toward the most colorful varieties. I think "Living Colors" now tops my list for color, after "Elaine". I also enjoy the contrast of the varieties that are dark with silver bands. In container gardens on my lanai, I mingle various Bromeliads and Succulents (very compatible!). I often use the "pot in pot" approach where I leave the C. in its pot and tuck it into surrounding plants that camouflage the inner pot. Pictured: Living Colors takes prime, bottom center position when mingled with varied plants.
