Vriesea mix 6/tray

Origin
The Vriesea mix 6/tray, also known as the Flaming Sword, originally comes from the tropical rainforests of Central and South America. It's an exotic plant from the Bromeliad family. In the wild, the Vriesea grows epiphytically, meaning that it mainly lives in trees and doesn't need soil to survive.

Characteristics
The Vriesea mix 6/tray is a collection of different types of Vriesea plants in one tray. The Vriesea distinguishes itself by its flamboyant leaf with often colorful patterns. Some species produce striking flowers that often strongly contrast with the leaves. The plants vary in size, but generally stay quite small, making them ideal for indoor gardening.

Care
The Vriesea mix 6/tray likes a warm and humid environment, similar to their original habitat in the tropics. The plants need indirect sunlight to grow. Watering is best done by slightly moistening the leaves and the flower stalk, directly watering the roots is not recommended. For the Vriesea's nutrition, a little bit of liquid fertilizer for houseplants is sufficient monthly. It's important to keep the humidity high, especially in the winter when the air is often drier.
