Vriesea corcovadensis

Description

Slender green rosettes with dark bases. This Brazilian Vriesea produces offsets readily, building an open group of plants.

In your tropical vivarium: Add a rosette to the middle or back of your tropical vivarium. Set it in an airy pocket or on a secure mount, with room for its mature spread.

Care essentials: Filtered light, humidity and gentle airflow. Keep roots lightly moist with free drainage, and refresh water held in the leaf cups.

Also at home: Pot in a loose bromeliad mix with drainage. A warm spot with bright, indirect light makes a good indoor display.
