Vriesea 'Red Chestnut' is an epiphytic bromeliad with arched and variegated leaves, native to Central and South America. An important feature is the resistance of this plant to climatic variations
It is a plant that needs high humidity and a bright but not direct sun exposure. The leaves can reach 45 cm in width and does not require special care, in addition to the colored foliage with light green and cream reflections
In the apartment it provides a magnificent aesthetic effect in pots, with constant humidity maintenance and moist but well-draining soil rich in organic substance (universal fertilizer is fine) and shaded position
In terrariums, it is used for tropical settings, while remaining medium in size due to slow growth, suitable for installations that require particularly robust plants at high temperatures and high humidity. Particularly suitable for terrariums with Dendrobatids and the like, which will appreciate the width of the leaves and the numerous natural ravines
We recommend a management temperature between 25/26 ° C ° and humidity of 80/90% in the terrarium; in the apartment, standard temperatures of any home are fine, avoiding temperatures below 15 ° C
