Guzmania loves bright light and high humidity. It is distinguished by its contrasting color - lush green leaves and bright pink flowers.
The shape of the flower is a particularly interesting detail. With its petal-scales, it is very reminiscent of a cone.
How to Grow Guzmania
Guzmania can be grown in both light and shaded areas.
It prefers diffused light; she should be shaded from direct sunlight at midday, for example, with translucent paper or fabric.
Grows well on windows with western or eastern orientation.
It grows well on northern windows, but may not bloom.
How to care for Guzmania
Guzmania is accustomed to high air humidity, which is especially necessary in indoor conditions.
To maintain it, you need to spray the plant with warm water every day.
When performing this procedure, avoid getting water on the bracts, as this may shorten the flowering time.
How to fertilize Guzmania
Guzmania needs to be fed either with fertilizer for flowering plants or with a specialized fertilizer for bromeliads.
Feeding is carried out from May to the end of August once every four weeks.
The fertilizer solution is poured into a rosette of leaves, or the plant is sprayed with a spray bottle.
