The above photo is just for display purposes, this plant was in a 5cm pot. It does not include the pot! Please read postage note at the bottom. 

Guzmania is a plant often grown indoors in cooler climates that is simply beautiful.

 

Caring for your new plant:

Guzmania is a plant that requires soil that is sufficiently rich and well-drained to grow well. Special Bromeliaceae soil mix seems to be the best solution for your guzmania. Guzmania never grows far-reaching roots, which is why a small pot, about 4 inches (10 cm), is more than enough. You will only need to repot when you want to split new shoots from the main plant. Guzmania requires temperatures that oscillate between 65 and 74°F (18 to 24°C) and never drops below 57°F (-13°C). The temperature of a house or apartment is thus ideal for growing guzmania.

 

The best location for your guzmania is any spot where there isn’t any direct sun on the plant. The guzmania can’t stand the sun’s rays when they touch its leaves directly. So the plant rejoices in adequate light but not direct sun. Absolutely avoid setting it near heat sources such as radiators, because moisture is what this tropical plant needs most. East or West-facing windows are thus usually the best call for your guzmania. Regular but moderate watering is called for because Guzmania doesn’t usually require a lot of water.

  •  

  • Keep the soil mix a bit moist and check that water drains properly. Provide liquid leaf plant fertilizer more or less once a month to extend the blooming to the maximum. Water from above, ideally with water that is already at room temperature. It’s ok to let water collect in the little funnel where the leaves meet the stem. This is called the rosette. A couple drops a day are enough. Take care to dry this vulnerable spot whenever the temperature drops below 65°F (18°C). To retain a certain moisture level, it is best to put the pot on a bed of clay pebbles wallowing in water.

    Once we receive your order we will order directly from our supplier, therefore it will take 10 days to process & dispatch your item.
