The Bromeliad Urn Plant, Aechmea fasciata ‘Primera’, is a striking tropical houseplant with a rosette of broad green leaves decorated with attractive silver-grey horizontal markings. From the centre rises a vibrant flower spike with long-lasting pink bracts and small purple flowers.
Easy to grow and low maintenance, the Urn Plant brings a bold splash of tropical colour to living rooms, desks and other bright indoor spaces. Its leaves naturally form a central cup or “urn”, which is kept topped up with fresh water as part of its usual care.
- Long-lasting pink bracts: create a colourful tropical centrepiece
- Small purple flowers: appear amongst the distinctive pink bracts
- Silver-banded foliage: broad green leaves feature attractive silver-grey markings
- Easy-care bromeliad: thrives indoors in bright, indirect light with minimal attention
- 15cm pot: can develop into an impressive display around 50cm tall
Please note: the decorative pot shown in the images is for illustration purposes only and is not included with the plant.
As this is a natural product, each Urn Plant is individual and may vary slightly in height, leaf markings and stage of flowering.

Watering Water when the top few centimetres of compost begin to dry, then water thoroughly and allow excess water to drain away. Do not leave the plant sitting in standing water, as consistently wet roots can lead to rot. Growth slows in winter, so reduce watering frequency during cooler, darker months.
Best Growing Conditions Grow in bright, indirect light and protection from harsh direct sun, ideally at around 18-26°C, away from cold draughts and sudden temperature changes. Use a good-quality, well-drained houseplant compost and make sure excess water can drain freely from the pot. Most houseplants perform best with moderate humidity and should be kept away from strong radiator heat.
