Since the root system of Aechmea is quite compact, choose a pot with drainage holes for it. Don't forget the pallet.
To prevent the long growing leaves of the plant from overpowering or overturning the pot, the pot must be wide enough and stable.
How to care for a houseplant Aechmea
Aechmea is not too demanding on the level of humidity, but for faster healthy growth its foliage should be periodically sprayed with a spray bottle or wiped.
The water should be the same as for irrigation. You can place the pot with the plant on a tray filled with wet pebbles.
How to water echmea correctly
Echmea consumes quite little water. Aechmea is a plant that collects water in the core and mostly in the flower bowl.
Because the plant naturally grows on other plants, the plant does not absorb much water through its roots.
Water the Aechmea soil once a month in summer, and once every two months in winter.
When to replant Aechmea
Aechmea should be replanted only after flowering, when the root system of young shoots has become stronger.
For planting, it is advisable to use loose, non-calcareous soil.
The shoots are carefully separated from the adult flower and planted in separate pots.
Before flowering, they are transplanted again into larger flowerpots.
