Product information

Description

~Vrieseas are very popular for their spectacular and long-lasting flower spikes. Incas, Aztecs and Mayans used almost every part of the plant for food, shelter, fibres and ceremonies. As a result, the Bromeliad is viewed as a 'gift from the gods' in these countries. As a houseplant, Bromeliad represents 'protection': a reference to the full, green foliage that surrounds the beautiful coloured part.

Your plant's pot should have holes in the bottom so it is able to drain water easily.

If reusing a pot that had other plants in it, it is recommended you wash the pot, killing any mould or bacteria

Do not over water your plant as the roots will rot.

Most plants need to be kept by a good source of natural light.

Fertiliser

You should fertilise your plant every two months. You can use all purpose fertiliser.

Any dead or fallen leaves should be removed to prevent bacteria and mould. Dead branches should also be removed.
