Crystal Teacup Arrangement – Variegated Cryptanthus Earth Star Bromeliad

Striking, Sculptural & Utterly Unique

This bold arrangement plants a captivating Cryptanthus (Earth Star Bromeliad) into a wide vintage cut crystal teacup — its narrow, serrated-edge leaves in bright green with bold creamy-yellow margins radiating outward in a perfect flat star rosette that seems to float just above the surface. Earth Stars are one of the most architectural plants in the bromeliad family, and this variegated form is especially eye-catching. The top-dressing is a beautiful mixed pebble grit in soft pinks, tans, and whites that perfectly complement the plant’s coloring. Through the crystal walls, the dark soil and root system are fully visible. Built on a base of orchid bark for excellent drainage and aeration, planted in organic succulent soil for healthy, thriving roots.
