FAQ about Bromeliad vriesea Intenso Pink:

• Are Bromeliads pet safe? Yes, they are! Bromeliads are non-toxic to pets and people.
• What maintenance do Bromeliads require? Bromeliads don’t require much more maintenance than your average houseplant. It is important to become familiar with their unusual anatomy: they have a central leaf cup that needs to be full of water. So, in addition to monitoring your soil’s moisture, you’ll also need to keep a watchful eye on the leaf cup.
