Aechmea gamosepala 'Lucky Stripe' Culture

• Light: Aechmea gamosepala prefers bright, indirect light. It thrives in filtered sunlight, similar to the dappled light of its native forest canopy. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
• Temperature: This bromeliad enjoys warm to intermediate temperatures. Ideal daytime temperatures range between 18-27°C (65-80°F), with nighttime temperatures around 15-20°C (59-68°F). 
• Humidity: High humidity is essential for Aechmea gamosepala, ideally between 50-70%. 
• Watering: Water the plant by filling the central tank (rosette) with water, ensuring it is always about 1/4 full. Use rainwater or distilled water to avoid mineral buildup. 

Additional Notes:

• Aechmea gamosepala is an epiphytic bromeliad, meaning it naturally grows on trees or rocks in its native habitat. It forms a compact rosette of arching, strap-like leaves.

• Flowers: Aechmea gamosepala produces a unique, cylindrical inflorescence with bright pink bracts and small, tubular blue or purple flowers.
