Bromeliad Vriesea

Vriesea Espada is the perfect plant for your spooky garden! They are a unique variety of bromeliads that produce a tall flower spike. Their striped foliage gives them a distinct look, even when out of bloom. Vrieseas contain trichomes, which allow them to take in water and nutrients through their leaves. Trichomes are also responsible for their unique foliage pattern. Vrieseas spread by offshoots, also known as “pups,” that make them easy to propagate. They are epiphytic bromeliads that can be attached on trees or used in small containers. They prefer to be in an environment where they receive bright or filtered light, avoiding direct sun. To keep them looking their best, we recommend fertilizing with Osmocote All-Purpose and letting the soil dry between waterings.
