Bromeliaceae guzmania rana

What is the plant

There are over 2500 species of bromeliads that are native to North, Central and South America. There are neoregelia, aechmea, and guzmania among the most popular bromeliads. The plants are easy to care.

Bromeliad plants have spectacular flowers which are really “bracts” that stay colorful for 6-10 weeks. There are numerous varieties of bromeliads to choose from all with different leaf colors and shapes. The exotic looking bracts come in red, burgundy, pink, white, yellow, orange, and even a mixture of colors. Use a single bromeliad plant or combine three different bromeliads to create your own special arrangement. A bromeliad blooms once indoors, then it’s necessary to start a new plant using cuttings from the original plant.

How to Care for the Plant

Water
Best water for bromeliads. If you can use it, rainwater is a best water for bromeliads because it is most natural. Distilled water also works well for watering bromeliads. Bromeliad water can also be tap water, but there may be a build up of salt and chemicals from tap water.
Pruning
Dead or dying sections of the plant can encourage pest infestation or disease. Removing these not only makes your houseplant look better, but reduces the risk of further problems down the line.
Fertilizer
When it comes to fertilizers, you want to avoid over-fertilizing (just like an overdose of vitamins isn't great for us, either). Less is more, so it’s important to follow what the package says for application amounts.

Temperature
Bromeliads are tropical plants that can survive in temperatures between 40-100F, but prefer 70-75F during the day and ten degrees cooler at night. The blooms on Bromeliad houseplants last longer when the temperature is cool.
