    About azurea

    Aechmea azurea is a bromeliad species in the family Bromeliaceae, native to Brazil. It is an epiphytic or terrestrial plant with a rosette of strap-shaped, spiny-margined leaves. The inflorescence bears blue flowers, which give the species its name derived from the Latin 'azureus' (sky-blue). The plant produces colorful bracts that persist after flowering.

    Care Tips

    Water into the central cup (tank) formed by the leaf rosette and keep it filled with fresh water. Flush the tank periodically to prevent stagnation. Provide bright indirect light. Use a well-draining, bark-based or bromeliad mix. Reduce watering in winter. Offsets (pups) can be separated for propagation once they reach about one-third the size of the mother plant.
