More information

Pitcairnia brongniartiana

A striking bromeliad native to Ecuador, Pitcairnia brongniartiana forms a robust, symmetrical rosette of elegant arching leaves. It is prized for its dramatic, long-lasting inflorescence that rises prominently from the center — a bold focal point in any botanical collection.

  • Light: Bright, indirect light; protect from intense midday sun.
  • Temperature: 65–82°F (18–28°C); thrives in intermediate conditions with consistent airflow.
  • Humidity: 60–80%; regular misting or a humid environment supports lush growth.
  • Watering: Keep the substrate evenly moist with excellent drainage to prevent stagnation at the base.

Additional Notes:

Ships bare root; rehydrate in a shaded, intermediate-temperature environment before planting. Ideal for decorative pots or well-drained substrates.
