Product Details
Weight: 2.00 kg
🌿 Guzmania (Bromeliad)
Botanical Name: Guzmania spp.
Common Names: Guzmania Bromeliad, Scarlet Star (red varieties), Torch Bromeliad, Vase Plant, Tropical Bromeliad
📌 Product Description
Guzmania is a tropical, evergreen bromeliad prized for its vibrant, long-lasting flower bracts in shades of red, orange, yellow, pink, and bi-colour. Its glossy green leaves form a symmetrical rosette, from which a bold central flower spike emerges, creating a dramatic architectural display.
Often referred to as the Torch Bromeliad or Vase Plant, Guzmania is a favourite for indoor décor due to its compact size, low-maintenance care, and extended flowering period. It brings exotic colour and a refined tropical aesthetic to homes, offices, patios, and shaded garden areas.
Each plant flowers once, with blooms lasting several months before producing offsets (pups), ensuring continued growth and future displays.
