Description: Bromeliads are not only very attractive with their rosettes of leaves and colourful bracts. Once the last flowers has faded on the head, cut the stem. Each rosette produces only one flowerhead but soon the plant will form another rosette on the side which will flower too when reaching maturity.

They are easy to grow as long as you respect their water requirements.

Height and Spread: 0.2 x 0.2 on average

Light requirement: Grow in a bright room with plenty of indirect sunlight, will tolerate a bit of direct sun as well.

Water requirement: In their natural habitat, these epiphytic plants (they grow on trees) collect the rain water in their rosettes. It is therefore important to water the plant in its centre and make sure there is always a little pool there. Use preferably rainwater if available or filtered tap water.

Soil: well-drained (Indoor plant mix)

Minimum Temperature: 13 °C
