Why will I love it?
Prepare to be captivated by the urn plant, AKA Aechmea fasciata – a true showstopper with its tall, architectural flower spike and dusty white-striped foliage. This plant also has air-purifying qualities.
Light or shade?
The urn plant thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light conditions, but place it in a spot that receives ample filtered sunlight for optimal growth and flowering.
Where should I put it?
Somewhere warm and humid, making it ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, or any room with higher humidity levels.
How do I keep it alive?
Caring for the urn plant is relatively straightforward. Ensure the central “urn” formed by the leaves is filled with water to maintain its humidity needs. To avoid stagnant water, flush out the urn at least once a month and replace it with fresh water.
Did you know …
This plant is native to the rainforests of Brazil. Its urn-shaped rosette serves as a natural reservoir, holding water to provide it with moisture and nourishment. The plant forms a remarkable symbiotic relationship with ants in its natural habitat, offering them a haven in exchange for nutritional support.
