Vriesea Duvaliana

About:

Vriesea duvaliana is a plant species in the genus Vriesea. It is an epiphyte endemic of the pineapple family, cultivated in many regions as an ornamental. The stiff, sword-shaped, fleshy green leaves grow in a rosette and often are mottled or banded with brown. The pink, yellow, green, or white flowers have three petals and three sepals. They grow from the centre of the rosette, often in a flat spike.

Flowering season: Summer

Planting Media: Soilrite mix would be a perfect planting medium for all kinds of plants.  If required pebbles (1-1.5cm) can be added to the mix to make sure the planting medium is well drained.

Water: Regular but moderate watering is called for because Vriesea doesn’t usually require a lot of water. Unlike other plants, keeping the potting mixture just barely moist, and mist the foliage on a regular basis should be enough. In spring and summer keep the soil mix barely moist and check that water drains properly. In fall and winter limit the watering and wait for the soil to be thoroughly dry before watering again.

Sunlight: Vriesea can’t stand the sun’s rays when they touch its leaves directly. Good light but no direct sunlight is what’s needed.
