Tips for growing your plant successfully:
Light: Aechmea orlandiana is best grown in full sun to achieve best leaf coloration.
Soil: Aechmea orlandiana grows best epiphytically. It can however, also be grown in containers. When growing your plant in containers, it is also important to ensure that your soil is light, airy and free draining. A combination of a good quality potting soil with the addition of either coco peat, pine bark or perlite is recommended.
Watering: Many Bromeliads are surprisingly water wise. When watering, water your plant thoroughly, then allow to dry out before watering again. Always ensure that there is water in your Bromeliad’s tank or cup. The frequency of watering will vary according to the season. Remember if you are unsure as to whether to water or not, rather keep the plant on a drier side as overwatering can lead to fungal problems which can kill a plant quickly. Plants grown epiphytically will require more frequent watering particularly during very hot spells.
Fertiliser: Use a balanced water-soluble fertilizer at half the recommended strength once a month during spring and summer.
Temperature: A general growing temperature range for Aechmea is 7 degrees Celsius – 30 degrees Celsius. Aechmea orlandiana is sensitive to frost.
