Aechmea fasciata, commonly known as the silver vase or urn plant, is a striking bromeliad that thrives with proper care. Here are three essential tips to keep your Aechmea fasciata healthy:
-
Light and Placement: Position your Aechmea fasciata in a bright location with indirect sunlight, such as near an east or west-facing window. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. If you live in a hardiness zone of 10b or 11, you can grow urn plants outside as long as you keep them well watered.
-
Watering: Lightly water the soil to keep it moist but not soggy, allowing the top inch to dry out between waterings.
-
Humidity and Temperature: Aechmea fasciata prefers moderate to high humidity levels and temperatures between 65°F and 75°F (18°C to 24°C). To increase humidity, place the plant on a tray filled with damp pebbles or misting it regularly.
By following these guidelines, your Aechmea fasciata can flourish and enhance yourhome with its unique beauty.
