Cryptanthus 'Crème Brûlée' is a terrestrial bromeliad with spectacular foliage, appreciated for its warm and contrasting colors. Its wavy, rigid leaves form a flattened rosette that spreads out like a star. They display a refined mix of cream, caramel, pink, and chocolate tones, reminiscent of the golden nuances of caramelized crème brûlée — hence its gourmet name. It produces side shoots after flowering, allowing the plant to multiply naturally. After flowering, remove the mother plant when it dries. This plant is sensitive to overwatering.
