A beautiful and luscious and PINK flowering plant in a sunny pot to brighten space during these darker winter days!
This beauty aechmea fasciata loves environments with medium to bright indirect light and is extremely easy to care for too! Please see care instructions below
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Aechmea fasciata is native to rainforests in Brazil, so this is a plant that loves humidity.
Aechmea fasciata is also known as the urn plant, as its rosette of stiff, silver-blue leaves form an 'urn' or well at the centre that collects rainwater. In the home, the plant is watered by filling the urn, too, to around one inch deep. Ideally, use rainwater, or failing that, distilled or filtered water. Empty and refill the urn every couple of weeks to prevent the water stagnating.
Keep your plant in a warm room, in a medium to bright spot that is out of direct sun. It likes humidity, so place on a tray of damp pebbles or mist regularly.
The flower will last for many weeks before it fades and the plant dies back. The plant will form 'pups' or baby plants at its base - when they are around a third of the size of the parent plant, they can be cut away and potted up, forming new plants.
This plant is pet-friendly!
