Know before you buy
The vibrant, tongue-like inflorescence typically lasts for three to six months. Once the bloom fades, it will not bloom again, but the plant will often produce 'pups' that you can propagate.
Yes, the Francesca Guzmania is non-toxic and pet-safe, making it a great choice for households with curious animals.
This plant thrives in medium to bright indirect light. Because it enjoys high humidity, bathrooms or kitchens are excellent spots to help it flourish.
Yes, it prefers a well-draining mixture. We recommend a blend of half potting soil, one-quarter perlite, and one-quarter orchid bark to ensure proper aeration and drainage.
After the main bloom fades, the mother plant will eventually decline, but it will likely produce small offsets known as 'pups' at the base. You can leave these to grow or carefully separate them to start new plants.
Yes, it is essential that your container has drainage holes. Bromeliads are susceptible to root rot if they sit in standing water, so proper drainage is key to long-term health.
