Indirect light throughout the day is the best option. When grown indoors, place it in any window, except a large southern-facing window where it may get too much direct bright sunlight. Cryptanthus needs lots of sunlight, but not direct sunlight.To make perfect soil: Use a mix of regular potting soil with an equal amount of leaf mold or Vermicompost and Sand. A little extra sand can also help create better drainage while keeping the soil moist. Transplanting is rarely needed, as Cryptanthus doesn’t grow very fast and may only last a few years.
