Description en: Genus of about 70 species of evergreen, sometimes rhizomatous or stoloniferous, epiphytic or terrestrial perennials (bromeliads) from coastal scrub, woodland, and rainforest, to 1,600m (5,000ft) high, in South America. They are grown for the striking colouring of their central leaves and bracts when flowering. The variable, usually spiny-margined leaves are borne in rosettes; large sheaths totally enclose the scape and its bracts. An umbel-like, sometimes raceme- or corymb-like, compact inflorescence nestles in the heart of each leaf rosette and, in summer, bears numerous long-lasting, tubular flowers. Offsets form around the flowering rosettes. Where temperatures drop below 10°C (50°F), grow in a temperate greenhouse, or as houseplants. In warm climates, grow in a shady, moist site.
Hardiness en: Frost tender.
Cultivation en:
Propagation en: Sow seed at 27°C (81°F) as soon as ripe. Separate offsets in spring or summer.
Pests en: Susceptible to scale insects.
