Vriesea 'Dark Red Style': Exotic Bromeliad for Indoor Tropical Flair

Vriesea 'Dark Red Style'

Bring a touch of the tropics indoors with Vriesea 'Dark Red Style'. This stunning bromeliad features easy-care nature, beautiful foliage, and a long-lasting, dark red flower spike that adds dramatic color for months. Like all bromeliads, it’s an epiphyte at heart, absorbing moisture and nutrients through its central "vase" and leaves. Perfect for brightening indoor spaces with exotic flair.

Secrets of Success

• LIGHT: Medium to high light indoors. Avoid direct, harsh afternoon sun.
• WATER: Regular heavy misting of leaves. Empty water from the central "vase" monthly to prevent stagnation; water soil only when very dry.
• FERTILIZER: Feed monthly using diluted liquid houseplant fertilizer in misting sprayer.
• HUMIDITY: Thrives with misting, pebble tray, or grouping with other houseplants.
• TEMPERATURE: Normal indoor temperatures; needs above 75°F (24°C) to initiate reblooming.

Light Requirements

• High Light Indoors, Medium Light Indoors

Plant in a well-draining bromeliad or orchid mix. Ensure good air circulation. The mother plant will eventually fade after flowering but produces offsets ("pups") that can be separated and grown on.
