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

Foliage Characteristics: 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.
