Guzmania minor

This vibrant bromeliad is prized for its compact size and spectacular flowering display, making it an ideal choice for adding tropical color to indoor spaces year-round.

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight which can scorch the leaves and fade the colorful bracts. Can tolerate lower light conditions but may reduce flowering intensity.
• Temperature: Thrives in warm temperatures. Ideal range between 18-24°C (65-75°F) year-round. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 15°C (59°F).
• Humidity: Requires high humidity, ideally between 60-80%. Use humidity trays, regular misting, or group with other plants to maintain optimal moisture levels.
• Watering: Keep the central cup filled with water and maintain slightly moist soil. Use filtered or rainwater when possible, as bromeliads are sensitive to chemicals in tap water.

Additional Notes

Features a compact rosette of narrow, arching green leaves that form a natural water-collecting cup in the center. Produces stunning bright red bracts that emerge from the center, creating a dramatic contrast against the green foliage. The colorful display can last several months, making it an excellent long-lasting ornamental plant.
