Description

Bring a touch of the Brazilian rainforest to your home with Aechmea fasciata, also known as the urn plant. This exotic bromeliad is celebrated for its striking silver-blue leaves that form a unique rosette, creating a central “urn” designed to collect water. Aechmea fasciata thrives as a houseplant in colder climates, such as Massachusetts, adding tropical beauty to indoor spaces year-round.

To care for your urn plant, fill its central well with distilled, filtered, or rainwater to about an inch deep, refreshing it every two weeks to maintain freshness. This plant thrives in bright, indirect light and warm, humid environments. Enhance its humidity with misting or by placing it on a tray of damp pebbles. With minimal effort, Aechmea fasciata brings exotic elegance and low-maintenance charm to your indoor sanctuary.
