I purchased a cryptanthus plant today and its so pretty color of brown/pink. And the shape does look like a five point star.

Help! I have no idea how to grow it. Any suggestions out there.
Thank you.

It likes indirect light and humid conditions. I have mine outside under a tree in the shade and it is simply beautiful.

In the winter I keep them in the window above the kitchen sink where it gets the steam from the sink. I would a bathroom would be good also.

I forgot if it gets too much sun the colors will bleach out so you will know when it is getting too much light.
