Origin
The Vriesea 'Nature' mix is a member of the Bromeliad family and originates from the tropical regions of Central and South America. This popular houseplant is most at home in the warm climate of the rainforest understorey. The plant is named after the Dutch botanist Willem Hendrik de Vriese.

Characteristics
The Vriesea 'Nature' mix stands out because of its striking leaf colours ranging from venomous green to deep burgundy. The plant forms a rosette of sharp, sword-shaped leaves and produces characteristic flower plumes that can bloom for weeks. These flower stalks can reach a height between 10 cm and 1 meter, depending on the specific variety.

Care
Generally speaking, looking after the Vriesea 'Nature' mix is straightforward. Ideally, the plant requires well-drained soil and partial to full indirect sunlight. Watering should be done by filling the heart of the plant, but avoid water stagnation to prevent rot. It is recommended to mist the plant regularly in a dry environment in order to mimic high humidity, a characteristic of the plant's tropical origin.
