Cytinus ruber, commonly known as the red cytinus, is a holoparasitic plant in the family Cytinaceae. It is native to the Mediterranean region and is often found in subtropical climates. This plant lacks chlorophyll and relies entirely on its host plant, typically species of Cistus, for nutrients. It produces striking red flowers that emerge from the ground, making it a unique and interesting plant.
Caring for Cytinus ruber involves ensuring it has a suitable host plant, as it is a holoparasite. It prefers indirect bright light and moderate temperatures. High humidity levels are beneficial for its growth. Since it is parasitic, it does not require traditional watering or fertilization.
