Scarlet Star - Guzmania 'Ostara' - Bromeliad

These Scarlet Stars are obviously potted, but in the wild they actually grow off other plants - almost like a snazzy little accessory for other plants!

We suggest you keep them potted rather than trying to find them a host (probably a lot easier!). The bloom only occurs once in its lifetime, but lasts a long time so you'll be able to enjoy it in all its splendor for many months. 

 

Notes

• Likes bright indirect light - can cope with fluorescent light
• Try to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged
• Likes high humidity - may benefit from a pebble tray
• Can be misted but avoid misting the flower
• Ideally use rain or distilled water when watering/misting
• Can benefit from fertilising during the growing season 
• Pet-safe
