Vriesea Bromeliad

Vriesea splendens aka Vriesea Bromeliad

Bromeliads are one of the best tropical plants to grow in your home. They are extremely adaptable, tolerating a variety of home environments. These plants have a showy sword-shaped flowering spike that lasts for months. Most vrieseas are tank bromeliads with soft, shiny green leaves. They are adaptable, growing in high light to fairly deep shade.

Lighting: Bromeliads can be grown in windows or under fluorescent light. Most bromeliads thrive in bright, indirect light. 

Watering: The cups should be full of water at all times—flush the cup with water once a week. The potting medium should be watered, but allowed to dry out between watering.

Temperature: The majority of bromeliads are happiest in temperatures that range between 65 to 90 F during the day and 50 to 65 F at night.
