Origin
The Guzmania 'Hope' is a plant from the bromeliad family and has its origin in Central and South America. The plant primarily grows wild in rainforests and cloud forests. Furthermore, the plant is widely cultivated for home and garden decoration due to its unique flowers and leaf colour.

Characteristics
The Guzmania 'Hope' is known for its vibrant and striking appearance. The plant has green, glossy leaves that form into a typical rosette shape. The most notable characteristic are its bright red or orange 'flowers', which are actually coloured leaf stems that protrude above the leaf rosette. These colourful bracts usually appear in late winter or early spring.

Care
The care of the Guzmania 'Hope' requires some attention. The plant loves plenty of indirect light, but direct sunlight can discolour the leaves. The soil should never dry out and must be kept consistently moist. In principle, you do not need to fertilise the plant, but it will benefit from some houseplant food during the growing season. It is important to regularly spray the plant with soft water to keep the humidity level high.
