The Hilda Bromeliad (Guzmania 'Hilda') is an enchanting tropical plant known for its vibrant yellow bracts that form a star-like display above its glossy, dark green foliage. The striking contrast of its bright inflorescence and deep green leaves makes it a stunning focal point in any home or office. Native to Central and South America, this epiphytic plant thrives in humid environments, mirroring the conditions of its rainforest origins. Easy to care for and with long-lasting blooms, the Hilda Bromeliad is a captivating addition to indoor spaces.
Best Locations For Growing Hilda Bromeliad
The Hilda Bromeliad thrives in living rooms, kitchens, or bathrooms where humidity is higher. Its compact size and dazzling flowers make it a perfect centerpiece for tables or a vibrant accent in workspaces. As it is non-toxic, it’s safe for households with pets and children.
Hilda Bromeliad Sunlight Requirements
Bright, indirect light or partial shade is ideal for this bromeliad. Place it near east- or west-facing windows, ensuring it doesn’t receive harsh, direct sunlight that could scorch its foliage. Filtered light mimics the dappled sunlight of its natural habitat.
Hilda Bromeliad Care
This bromeliad prefers a well-draining potting mix like orchid soil or a mix of bark, peat, and perlite. It thrives in containers with excellent drainage and doesn’t require frequent repotting. Remove any dead leaves or flower stalks to keep the plant looking tidy.
Watering Hilda Bromeliad
Water directly into the plant's central "cup," keeping it filled but not stagnant. Flush the cup periodically to prevent build-up. Every few months, moisten the surrounding soil. In winter, allow the cup to dry out for longer intervals.
Feeding Hilda Bromeliad
Feed monthly during the growing season with a diluted liquid fertilizer, such as a bromeliad-specific or balanced houseplant fertilizer. Dilute the fertilizer to half the strength recommended on the label for optimal results.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
