Care Tips

Light

  • Grow earth stars in a bright spot
  • These small indoor plants can take some direct sun on their leaves, so they’re perfect for dressing up an otherwise bland window sill
  • If your earth stars seem pale, move them to a brighter spot

 

Water

  • Water Earth Stars so the soil just dries before watering again
  • keep the soil moist, but not soggy
  • However they thrive in moist soil. Likewise, if you forget to water your earth stars now and again, they don’t mind

 

Soil

Temperature

  • When grown indoors, normal room temperature is fine

 

Repotting 

  • Transplanting is rarely needed, as this plant doesn’t grow very fast and may only last a few years. The roots are also delicate and don’t always survive repotting

 

Propagation

  • Keep collecting the offsets 
  • Instead of dropping the offsets in the soil around the foliage and plant growth, the offsets are found between the leaves
  • The offsets should be left in place until you plan to propagate the plant
  • The offsets can be removed carefully and placed in the same type of soil recommended for the mother plant
  • After placing the offsets in their own pots, cover with plastic and add ventilation holes. Set the pots in a bright spot
  • Within two to three months, the plants should take root

  • Though constant moisture can cause rot and fungal growth
