Guzmania Love Potcover Paris, P13, 40-50CM
The Guzmanian bromeliads are classified into about 120 species. Guzmania plants have pointed leaves and a cup-shaped center where they store water. They grow in rosette form. The leaves of the plants can be quite colorful, and they produce amazing deep colored blooms. Although they are epiphytic—meaning they grow in trees and rock crevices in their natural habitat—bromeliads are fairly common houseplants. Although there are a few tricks to caring for Guzmanias, they are generally fuss-free houseplants.
1. Light
Bright, Indirect Light: Guzmania thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. It can also tolerate lower light, but its blooms may not last as long.
2. Watering
Water Through the Central Cup: Guzmania has a rosette of leaves that forms a "tank" or cup at the center. Fill this cup with water and keep it filled, but refresh it regularly to prevent stagnation.
Water the Soil Moderately: In addition to keeping the central cup filled, water the soil when it feels dry. However, be careful not to overwater, as Guzmanias are sensitive to root rot.
3. Humidity
High Humidity: Guzmanias thrive in humid environments. Maintain humidity by misting the plant regularly or placing it in a more humid room, like a bathroom, or near a humidifier.
4. Temperature
Warm Temperatures: Keep your Guzmania in a warm environment, ideally between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Avoid exposing it to cold drafts or temperatures below 60°F (15°C), as they are sensitive to cold.
5. Soil
Well-Draining Soil: Use a well-draining, light potting mix, such as an orchid mix or a blend for bromeliads. Adding perlite or bark helps to improve drainage.
6. Fertilization
Feed Sparingly: During the growing season (spring and summer), fertilize with a liquid bromeliad fertilizer or a balanced fertilizer diluted to half strength. Apply it directly to the leaves and into the central cup, but do so sparingly.
7. Pruning
Remove Dead Leaves and Spent Flowers: After the Guzmania has bloomed, the flowers will eventually fade. Trim away dead flowers and leaves to keep the plant looking tidy. The mother plant will slowly die after flowering, but it typically produces pups (offsets) before it dies.
8. Propagation
Pups/Offsets: Guzmanias produce pups or offsets after flowering. Once the pups are about 1/3 the size of the parent plant, they can be separated and planted in their own pots to grow into new plants.
9. Repotting
Rarely Needed: Guzmanias do not need to be repotted often. If repotting is required, do it only when the plant becomes root-bound or when transplanting pups.
10. Pest Control
Watch for Pests: Guzmanias are generally pest-resistant but can occasionally attract mealybugs or scale. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
By following these care tips, your Guzmania will thrive, showcasing its vibrant, colorful bracts and healthy green foliage for months. With proper care, it can produce new pups, allowing you to enjoy the plant for years to come.
