Guzmania Conifera
This bold beauty is impossible to ignore. The Cone Headed Bromeliad, or Guzmania Conifera, brings instant drama and tropical vibes to any space with its bright orange red cone shaped flower spike and bright green leaves.
Native to the rainforests of South and Central America, this epiphytic (a plant that grows on another plant) wonder doesn’t just sit there it pops.
A statement piece in any plant collection, this bromeliad is ideal for plant lovers who want something a little more exotic without the fuss. It blooms just once, but that bloom can last for months, making it a long lasting colour explosion!
�?Why it’s special:
�?Bright, fiery cone shaped flower that lasts for months
�?Striking foliage in a perfectly symmetrical
�?Doesn’t need soil to thrive (epiphytic magic!)
�?Low maintenance and beginner friendly
�?Air purifying and space saving
💡 Light: Loves bright, indirect light. Direct sun can scorch those gorgeous leaves
💧 Water: Keep water in the central cup and top it up regularly. Empty and refresh every few days to avoid rot
🌱 Humidity: Thrives in higher humidity, a kitchen or bathroom is ideal, or add a pebble tray nearby
🌡�?Temperature: Warm, stable indoor temperatures are ideal. Keep it away from cold drafts and frosty windows
🚫 Toxicity: Generally considered non toxic to pets and people, but always monitor for curious nibblers
🌿 Top Tip: Bromeliads don’t need deep pots or big root systems. Most of their energy goes into their stunning top growth, so repot sparingly and focus on keeping the central cup clean and full.
