Vriesea Bromeliad – Flaming Sword Plant | Colourful Indoor Flowering Houseplant

Add a burst of tropical colour to your home with a Vriesea Bromeliad, also known as the Flaming Sword Plant. This eye-catching houseplant features striking flat flower spikes in vivid reds, oranges, or yellows that resemble a glowing sword, rising above a rosette of lush, arching green leaves.

Vriesea is part of the bromeliad family and is monocarpic, meaning it flowers once before producing offsets (or “pups”) and gradually finishing its life cycle. These pups can be grown into new plants, continuing the colourful display.

How often should I change the water in the central tank of my Bromeliad?
To avoid water stagnation and potential leaf rot, it’s best to empty and refresh the water in the central tank at least once a week. This keeps your plant healthy and prevents pest attraction.
Can the Bromeliad Aechmea Fasciata Primera be placed in a terrarium?
Yes, this plant is well-suited for terrariums due to its size and humidity requirements. Ensure the terrarium has ample indirect light and maintain regular misting to replicate a tropical environment.
What should I do if my Bromeliad stops flowering?
If your plant isn’t flowering, it might not be receiving enough light. Relocate it to a brighter area with indirect sunlight to encourage blooming.

☀️ Light

Emoji Scale: ☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)

The Vriesea Bromeliad thrives in bright, indirect light. It’s perfect for spots that receive filtered sunlight, avoiding direct harsh rays that could scorch its leaves.

💧 Water

Emoji Scale: 💧💧▫️ (Medium)

Keep the central cup of the plant filled with fresh water, topping it up as it evaporates. The soil should be kept slightly moist, but be careful not to overwater as this can lead to root rot.

🌡️ Temperature

Emoji Scale: 🌡️🌡️▫️ (Average)

Vriesea Bromeliad enjoys average room temperatures between 18°C to 24°C. Avoid cold draughts and sudden temperature changes to keep your plant happy.

💦 Humidity

Emoji Scale: 💦💦▫️ (Moderate)

While it prefers higher humidity, the Flaming Sword Plant adapts well to average home humidity levels. For optimal growth, consider placing it in a kitchen or bathroom where the air is usually more moist.

🪴 Repotting

This plant is quite content in its provided pot for a while. Repotting is only necessary every few years or if you see the roots outgrowing the pot. Use a well-draining potting mix suitable for bromeliads or orchids.
