Cryptanthus 'Zebra Star' (zonatus) – Earth Star for Terrariums | India
Cryptanthus 'Zebra Star' (zonatus) is a striking terrestrial 'earth star' marked with bold crosswise zebra banding in bronze and silver — a dramatic, patterned foreground plant for closed terrariums and vivariums. Cup-free and compact, it grows flat in the substrate, ideal for miniature, closed setups.

A bold-patterned foreground or carpet plant for closed terrariums, vivariums and the planted land zone of a paludarium. Grown in the substrate above the waterline — it is not an aquatic plant and must not be submerged.
Why you will love it
The zebra banding gives architectural, high-contrast detail unlike anything else at ground level.
