Aechmea fasciata
Aechmea fasciata
Originating from Brazil, fasciata is easily identified by the bright pink flowers on a tall stem. They sit on a lovely plumage of thin, silvery pointed glossy leaves. If you're looking for an eye-catcher this is your guy...you certainly won't miss it in a crowd! Even better this a super low maintenance plant, great for a beginner or someone with a busy lifestyle!
How to care for your Aechmea -
Water: Ensure the axel of the bromeliad is always holding some water. Do not water the substrate, this is purely for anchorage and doing so will quickly rot the plant.
Light: Allow bright indirect light, direct light can cause discoloration.
Humidity: They love warmth and humidity, a bathroom or kitchen would be a perfect spot.
Temperature: They prefer warm temperatures about 20 degrees C.
Toxic to cats & dogs? Yes
Please note we cannot guarantee the plant will still be in flower upon arrival. Once Bromeliads flower, the plant is in its dying stages (this can take up to 2 years and the plant will appear healthy during this time) but it will produce several pups to continue the cycle.
