☀️ Light
☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
Your Bromeliad Guzmania Red thrives in medium light. It’s adaptable, but too much direct sunlight might scorch the leaves, while too little can cause it to lose its vibrant colour. A spot with filtered light, such as behind a sheer curtain, is ideal.
💧 Water
💧💧▫️ (Medium)
Keep the soil lightly moist but be wary of overwatering. Pour water directly into the central cup of the plant and change it frequently to prevent stagnation and bacterial growth. Let the top soil dry out slightly between waterings.
🌡️ Temperature
🌡️🌡️🌡️ (Warm)
Guzmania prefers a warm environment typical of its native tropical habitat. Aim to keep the temperature around 18-24°C. Avoid draughty areas or sudden temperature changes.
💦 Humidity
💦💦💦 (High)
This plant loves humidity! A kitchen or bathroom where the humidity is naturally higher can be a perfect spot. Alternatively, misting the plant regularly or using a humidity tray can help meet its needs.
🪴 Repotting
Bromeliads generally don’t need to be repotted often. This plant prefers a shallow pot with well-draining soil, such as a mix of sphagnum moss and perlite. Ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent root rot.
🐾 Pet Friendliness
Great news for pet owners! The Bromeliad Guzmania Red is non-toxic to cats and dogs, making it a worry-free choice for pet-friendly homes.
🏠 Recommended Locations at Home
Place your Bromeliad in a well-lit bathroom or kitchen to take advantage of the higher humidity. These spots will help replicate its natural, tropical environment.
🌿 Air Purifying
While not specifically known for air-purifying abilities, like all plants, Bromeliads can contribute to a reduction in indoor air pollutants, making your home’s air fresher and cleaner.
✨ Other Plant Features
The vibrant red flower and lush green foliage make this plant a stunning addition to any space. Its ability to adapt to various light conditions and its minimal care requirements make it an excellent choice for both beginners and seasoned plant enthusiasts.

We’re a small family business with a big love for plants.
From our base in Aberdeen, we pack every order with care and love. Our small size means we can be flexible with special requests, and we’re always happy to help. We reuse packaging, craft our own eco-friendly products, and offer friendly advice whenever you need it.
Fantastic service as always from Pam, Craig and the Team! Added bonus to get to meet Angus the new puppy!
Great website and very communicative with delivery updates. Minor issue with the interface for the aroid plants bundle: I was unable to select both the base and extension pole, so had to add the latter separately.
Really lovely selection of plants photographed beautifully. I had a question before placing my order and used the online contact form. Craig couldn’t have been more helpful with a super quick response which resolved my query completely. My order was delivered on time and the plants and accessories were wrapped so beautifully with thoughtful little extras which made opening everything really special. I even got a ‘wee gift’ with my order and although I was aware from the website that one would be included with my order, it was just another example of a company who really wants to connect with the customers, even though there must be a financial commitment. I found the website full of useful articles and being able to access specific care guides for my purchases has been extremely useful.
The plants are well taken care of and from the few times I’ve bought from them never had any issues with the plants. 10/10 care would definitely recommend buying either only or in person.
