  Basic introduction to Guzmania:

  It is a flower of the Bromeliaceae family; among bromeliad varieties, it is an ornamental bromeliad. As an ornamental bromeliad, Guzmania can release oxygen at night. Most plants open their stomata during the day for photosynthesis, and at night the plant enters a sleep state and the stomata close. Guzmania can absorb a large amount of carbon dioxide and release oxygen at night. So placing a pot of Guzmania at home means having a natural home oxygen bar.


  Guzmania is a very beautiful potted flower. With its unique rosette plant shape and very long flowering period, especially its bright red flower color, it gives people a lively and festive feeling. It is especially suitable for people who like vitality. Moreover, the Guzmania can fully show the owner's good taste.

  How to grow Guzmania: First, temperature.The most suitable growing temperature for Guzmania is 21-28°C during the day and 18-21°C at night. Of course, winter temperatures are lower, but they must not fall below 10°C. If it is too low, the plant will suffer frost damage and the leaves will turn yellow, so temperature control matters.
  Second, sunlight.Plant growth cannot do without sunlight. Guzmania has high requirements for sunlight; in summer it should be placed in the shade of trees. In winter it needs at least 4 to 5 hours of direct sunlight every day. Only with sufficient sunlight can Guzmania stay evergreen and bloom normally.
  Third, soil.The growing soil for Guzmania must be fertile and loose. If possible, you can use peat soil and fine sand mixed at a ratio of 2:1 to make your own potting soil.


  Fourth, fertilizer.Guzmania generally blooms in winter, and the winter weather conditions are very poor, so usually a thin organic liquid fertilizer should be applied twice a month.
  Fifth, watering.Guzmania likes a humid environment, so pay attention to keeping the potting soil moist. Also note that when watering, do not directly use tap water; use water that has been left to stand. Pour from above the leaves downward, which can remove dust, make it look more beautiful, and also promote healthy plant growth and improve the indoor environment.



Conclusion:Guzmania is very different from other plants. It blooms only once in its lifetime, and after blooming it will slowly wither and die. So when it blooms, you must take extra care of it and cultivate new plants. Just break off the larger "pups" from the base and plant them separately.

How to care for Guzmania

The first thing to tell flower lovers is that Guzmania is a name given by merchants; its scientific name should be ornamental bromeliad. It is a perennial herbaceous plant that mostly grows in tropical regions and likes a warm, humid, semi-shaded environment. Flower lovers may now be able to buy Guzmania all year round, but they do not know how to care for it. Below is a plain explanation of how to grow Guzmania.

1. Environment

Guzmania is afraid of being scorched by the sun, so it is best to choose a semi-shaded environment for care, such as indoors. Some flower lovers always ask everywhere why their Guzmania is not growing well. It should be said here that Guzmania is a tropical plant, and it is not that it can be grown well anywhere. Why is it good at the merchant's place? That is because the merchant's flowers are all grown in greenhouses with high temperature and high humidity, and after flower lovers buy them home, the environment changes. So flower lovers should not blindly think that as long as they buy a flower home and take care of it diligently, it will definitely grow well; they must consider climate issues.

2. Watering

Guzmania is not watered in the pot like other flowers and plants, because Guzmania is an epiphytic flower and plant, so flower lovers only need to pour water into the center of the Guzmania.

3. How long can Guzmania be kept?

What should be said here is that although Guzmania is a perennial plant, it blooms only once in its lifetime, and after the flower fades it slowly dies, so for ordinary flower lovers, do not expect to keep it for many years.

4. How to propagate Guzmania

After flowering, one to several offshoot buds will grow from the base of the old plant. At this time, it is not suitable to divide them too early, otherwise they are not easy to survive. The method of division is: first cut off the flower stem from the base, then leave 5-8 cm of the old plant's leaves and remove all the rest. The base of the remaining leaves just forms a tube shape that can hold water. When cutting, do not damage the small buds. Wait until the buds are about 10 cm tall, then use a sharp knife to gently cut at the connection between the bud and the mother plant, plant the small buds into potting soil made of leaf mold, and after careful care for one year, they can bloom with gorgeous flowers again.
