Description

Guzmania 'Flava' is a highly decorative tropical bromeliad. Its striking bicolour bracts, combining deep yellow and bright orange, catch the eye and perfectly complement its dense, glossy foliage. This variety, which thrives in bright and humid conditions, blends harmoniously into contemporary, bohemian, or jungle-inspired settings.

Guzmania 'Flava' is a cultivar from the Bromeliaceae family, selected for its beauty and adaptability to modern interiors. This variety is the result of cross-breeding between different Guzmania species, notably Guzmania lingulata and Guzmania monostachia, native to the tropical forests of Central and South America. These epiphytic species, which grow naturally on trees in humid forests, have passed a preference for a moist atmosphere on to this cultivar. Guzmania 'Flava' captivates with its bicoloured floral bracts: their sunny golden-yellow heart is surrounded by bright orange tips. They emerge from the centre of an elegant rosette of glossy green leaves. Easy to care for, it reaches a height of 50 cm with a spread of 40 cm at maturity. It prefers temperatures between 18 and 27°C with bright, indirect light and good ambient humidity. This Guzmania variety is semelparous, meaning the rosette dies after producing its spectacular inflorescence, but it can form offsets (shoots at the base) that allow the plant to regenerate.

Guzmania 'Flava' fits perfectly into contemporary, minimalist, or exotic interiors. To showcase it, pair it with lush and contrasting foliage plants, such as Dracaenas or Philodendron 'Brasil', which have similar light and humidity requirements.

Location

Évitez au Guzmania Flava l'exposition directe au soleil, afin de prévenir les brûlures des feuilles, ainsi que les courants d'air et les sources de chaleur directe comme les radiateurs. Un air trop sec peut nuire à la plante ; maintenez une humidité ambiante en brumisant régulièrement le feuillage, ou en plaçant un humidificateur. Cette plante se marie particulièrement bien avec des matériaux naturels comme le bois clair, le rotin ou le bambou, mais aussi dans un décor minimaliste pour y ajouter de la couleur.

Maintenance and care

Arrosez en versant de l'eau non calcaire dans la rosette centrale et maintenez le substrat légèrement humide. Arrosez dans la rosette une fois par semaine en été. Réduisez l'arrosage en hiver et évitez l'eau stagnante.

Potting advice, substrates and fertilisers

Rempotez tous les 2 à 3 ans ou lorsque la plante devient trop grande pour son pot, mais elle aime être à l'étroit. Le Guzmania développe peu de racines et se contente d'un petit pot d'environ 10 cm de diamètre. Toutefois, si vous souhaitez séparer les rejets du pied mère, effectuez cette opération au printemps.
Utilisez un mélange de terreau pour orchidées et de tourbe, avec des billes d'argile au fond du pot pour assurer un bon drainage.
Apportez un engrais liquide pour plantes vertes, dilué, une fois par mois pendant la période de croissance (printemps et été).

Houseplant care

Nettoyez régulièrement le feuillage avec un chiffon humide pour enlever la poussière et permettre une meilleure photosynthèse.
No pruning is required; simply remove dead or damaged leaves to maintain the plant's appearance.

Disease and pest advice

En cas d'infestation de cochenilles, nettoyez les feuilles avec un chiffon imbibé d'alcool à 70°. Un excès d'eau entraîne la pourriture des racines
