Products » Bromeliads » Guzmania and Vriesea
Guzmainias and vrieseas are known for their lack of or minimal spikes and softer (less leathery) leaves. Inflorescence grow out from the central plant well and last on the plants for over 6 months, quite often maintaining their same intensity of colour.
As well as larger pups, these varieties of bromeliads will often produce grass pups - a large number of small pups that look like tufts of grass at the base of the plant. Both Guzmanias and vrieseas tend to preder shaded positions but still like to have some light. Some varieties such as vriesea imperialis cope well in full sun.
