Guzmania - classic with leaf rosette and winter bloom

  • Guzmania lingulata: 50 cm long, smooth green leaves form a rosette under carmine-red bracts
  • Guzmania monostachya: a mighty, bright red spike flower rises from a light green rosette

Tillandsias - epiphytes with an exotic charm

This genus has the largest number of bromeliads, some of which are excellent indoor plants. Primarily, we recommend the aerial carnation (Tillandsia cyanea), which sets itself apart in spring and summer with blue flowers and pink bracts.

Billbergia enchants with its delicate play of colors

The genus and its species are known to home gardeners as indoor oats. The cistern bromeliads captivate with their delicate inflorescences that add color to the wintry windowsill from October to January. Not only are they easy to look after, but after the flowering period they multiply by themselves with numerous children.

Ornamental pineapples create an exotic atmosphere

With beautiful species, the ornamental pineapple comforts us about the fact that it doesn't give us its delicious fruit in the living room at home. The pineapple comosus 'Variegatus' is representative of the multifaceted variety. With ivory or pink edged, prickly leaf rosettes and a red ornamental fruit with a decorative tuft of leaves, the exotic plant attracts everyone's attention.

Vriesea - flowers like a flaming sword

The epiphytic bromeliad genus is causing a sensation in living and working spaces. It's not just the intensely colored inflorescences that catch the eye. In addition, the most beautiful species of this genus impress with their decoratively drawn, lanceolate leaves. Magnificent specimens, such as Vriesea hieroglyphica, take on a space-consuming size with a diameter of up to 100 cm.

Species Primus Vriesea splendens boasts an inflorescence up to 100 cm high, at the end of which is a 30 cm long, flat spike, formed from red bracts and yellow flowers. As with all bromeliads, it takes 3 to 4 years of patience for the flower show to take place.

Tips

Bromeliads are not just uncomplicated houseplants, they are also happy to help you care for demanding orchids. The Tillandsia usneoides ensures that a free-hanging Vanda orchid does not dry out so quickly. To do this, simply tie the bromeliad into the network of aerial roots.
