Colorful Bromeliad Planter - 3 Live Plants in 6 Inch Pot

Owing to the current availability, the colors will vary for each order. Guzmania plants are perennial plants that belong to the bromeliad family. With over 120 different species, all of which are native to South America, these tropical beauties are known as epiphytic plants, attaching themselves to trees with roots that never reach the soil.

The striking bracts that grow from the center of the plant can be red, yellow, orange, or deep purple, depending on the species. The leaves are thin and dark green, and they do not cause any injury to their host plant; they merely use the host for support.

Guzmania lingulata is one of the most popular species of Guzmania, commonly known as the scarlet star. This variety has long, flat, glossy green leaves with smooth margins, which come together to form a star shape in the middle.

To ensure the best growth and prevent potential problems such as rot, it is recommended to grow your Guzmania in well-draining soil that does not remain soggy. You can use a commercial potting mix or a mix designed for orchids, but it is important to avoid using regular potting soil, as it is heavy and tends to retain too much water.
