A.Caudata Variegata

Doesn't mind root competition - easy care Caudatas

Birds Love this New Vriesea USA Import. NB; The foliage on this plant when grown in good light is a beautiful Neo-like purple...the plant shown here has been grown in an over shaded area. A Large plant that consumes quite a lot of space. The pups on offer however, show the true foliage color. *************One Could be tricked into thinking this was a Neoregelia until the huge red spike emerges.

Long lasting flowers laden with nectar. Creatively designed by nature cleverly limiting access to all but the honey birds.

Aechmea Gracilis to 40cm in flower - Flowers stand high above foliage. Great in a hanger where it will grow out the sides, or as a border plant. Grows best in Bark.

"Think I will go upstairs for a sauna"

Many Aechmea in the Recuvata, Caudata & Recuvata Sharp Family feature great inky purple centers and blotches when grown in high light + low nutrient. An added bonus when not in flower.
