  • Bromeliad Urn - The Aechmea Fasciata Primera is a real live indoor bromeliad, commonly known as the Urn Plant. This stunning tropical evergreen perennial produces rosettes of broad green leaves that feature attractive silver grey horizontal markings. From the centre a large flower spike with pink bracts is formed, with which small purple flowers appear. 

  • Exotic Centrepiece for the Home - The Bromeliad Urn Plant is renowned for its striking rosette of arching green leaves and long lasting, vibrant flower bracts that can grow up to 50cm tall, adding a bold splash of colour indoors.

  • Easy to Grow & Low Maintenance - Thrives as a houseplant in bright, indirect light with minimal care. Simply keep the central “urn” filled with fresh water and mist occasionally for best results.

  • Light Required Best placed in a bright spot that receives diffused indirect sunlight but can tolerate lower light conditions. Bright sunlight, in particular afternoon sunlight can cause the plant to scorch. 

    Watering Water the plant by filling the urn shape created by the rosette of leaves to around one inch deep. Empty and refill the urn every couple of weeks to prevent the water stagnating. As this plant likes humidity misting regularly or placing a tray of damp pebbles under the growing pot will help increase the plants humidity levels.

    Best Growing Conditions Place it less than 30 cm from a south-facing window to maximise the potential for growth. Average household temperatures of about 15-30°C are perfect but it is important to make sure temperatures don’t drop below 12°C in the Winter.
