Vriesea 'Astrid' is a stunning tropical plant known for its vibrant and exotic flower spike. Unlike traditional flowers, this plant's 'bloom' is actually a flattened, feather-like bract that emerges from the center of the foliage, featuring brilliant shades of red and yellow. The bract can last for many months, providing a long-lasting display of color. Its glossy, sword-shaped green leaves form a striking rosette, adding to its architectural appeal. This bromeliad is relatively low-maintenance and makes a beautiful statement piece for any home or office.

☀️ Light: Place in a location with bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. An east or north-facing window is ideal.
💧 Water: Water the plant by filling the central cup (the rosette of leaves) with clean, filtered water. Flush the cup every few weeks to prevent stagnation. Keep the soil lightly moist but not soggy. Use distilled or rainwater if possible, as Vriesea is sensitive to mineral salts in tap water.
🌡️ Temperature: Thrives in warm, humid conditions. Maintain a temperature between 18-29°C (65-85°F). Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
🏡 Humidity: Prefers high humidity. You can increase humidity by misting the leaves, using a humidifier, or placing the pot on a tray filled with pebbles and water.
🌱 Fertilizer: Fertilize sparingly. Use a diluted liquid fertilizer (1/4 strength) once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). Apply the fertilizer to the central cup or the soil.
