Description
The Bromeliad Purple adds a bold pop of color to your collection. With unusually long-lasting flowers, bromeliads are the gift that keeps on giving since they naturally grow pups that will develop their own beautiful flowers. This also means the mother plant will die off one day and be replaced by these pups, so don’t worry if you notice that purple flower fading in a few months! This is natural.
Guzmania-type bromeliads hail from South America. In their native habitat, they’re epiphytic, meaning they grow on other plants like trees. They get their moisture from the rainwater that their vase catches and the water vapor in the air. Keep this center vase filled halfway with water at all times and you’ll have this tropical beauty thriving in your home.
