Commonly known as the Amazonian Zebra Plant, Silver Vase or the Urn Plant, this popular epiphytic plant is native to the rainforests of Brazil. With their big, silver-striped, deep green leaves that have protective spikes, the Bromeliad Aechmea will bring a wild, tropical vibe into your space!
Being that it’s from a tropical environment, it thrives in moderate humidity, warm temperatures, a quarter to half-full urn, drier soil, medium to indirect bright light and will grow up to 18 inches indoors. This makes them great as a centerpiece plant in a bright spot in your space! Over time this plant will lose its central flower, but don’t be alarmed, this is just a natural occurrence in the plant’s life cycle and it will grow pups that you can propagate to start a new Aechmea Bromeliad!
