From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aechmea fasciata (Silver-Vase, Urn Plant) is a bromeliad native to Brazil. This plant is probably the best known species in this genus, and it is often used like a house plant.
When caring for the plant make sure not to over water it and water it from the cup or top center of the plant. When the plant flowers, it will grow pups. And then the mother plant slowly dies. Do not transplant pups until they are 50% of the mother's size. Aechmea Fasciata are epiphytes and grow on trees not in the ground. they do not have roots but have hold fasts. these, as the name implies, hold the plant in place.
