{"product_id":"cryptanthus-zonatus","title":"Cryptanthus zonatus","description":"\u003cp\u003eCryptanthus zonatus, commonly known as Earth Star, is a low-growing bromeliad species prized for its striking, textured foliage. Its stiff, rosette-forming leaves are banded with alternating stripes of green and silver-grey, creating a dramatic contrast. The leaves are serrated along the edges, giving them a spiky appearance, but the plant itself remains relatively small, typically spreading to about 30cm in width. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigins\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCryptanthus zonatus is native to Brazil, where, unusually for a bromeliad, it grows terrestrially across the shaded, humid forest floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil and Substrate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur \u003ca class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/growtropicals.com\/products\/simply-houseplant-tropical-houseplant-potting-mix\"\u003eSimply Houseplant Potting Mix\u003c\/a\u003e is a peat-free, free-draining blend that suits the shallow roots of terrestrial bromeliads.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GrowTropicals","offers":[{"title":"9cm \/ Zebra Stripe","offer_id":41648537141292,"sku":"CRYPSP9ZEBR","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0361\/9645\/0348\/files\/zonatus.jpg?v=1704475274","url":"https:\/\/growtropicals.com\/products\/cryptanthus-zonatus","provider":"GrowTropicals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
