Origin
The Vriesea Intenso Orange Flame is an exotic plant that originally hails from the tropical rainforest of Central and South America. It is part of the Bromeliad family, a diverse plant family with many types and varieties. The name Vriesea pays homage to the Dutch botanist, Willem Hendrik de Vriese, while Intenso Orange Flame refers to the bright orange colour of the plant's inflorescences.

Characteristics
The Vriesea Intenso Orange Flame is distinguished by its stunning orange flower stem that grows in a flame-like shape. The colourful bloom contrasts with the green foliage. The plant is characterised by long, curved leaves that grow from a central point and adopt a rosette shape. The plant can grow up to 60 cm tall, and the spectacular bloom can last several months, usually between late spring and early summer.

Care
The Vriesea Intenso Orange Flame has relatively simple care requirements, making it a popular choice for both novice and experienced plant enthusiasts. It prefers warm temperatures and high humidity, similar to its original tropical environment. It needs bright, indirect light and should be watered regularly, preferably by pouring water into the leaf rosette. Despite its exotic appearance, the plant is fairly resistant to common plant diseases, provided it is cared for correctly.
