Found naturally in various countries in South America, these low-maintenance plants will brighten any environment with their colorful, dramatic bracts and flowers, giving the space a cheerful, tropical vibe. Bromeliad Guzmania is considered epiphytic so it attaches itself to trees and other substrates with its roots rarely reaching the soil. They flower once during their lifespan, but the flower can last 3-6 months. After flowering, a healthy plant will then produce new ‘pups’ that will grow into new adult flowering plants.
Best Locations For Growing Pink Guzmania Bromeliad
Guzmania ‘Pink’ Bromeliad prefers comfortable room temperatures ranging between 60 - 80 degrees F. This plant enjoys moderate to high humidity. Be sure to keep your Bromeliad Guzmania ‘Pink’ away from cold drafts. Place it in an area of the home where higher humidity is maintained, such as a bathroom or kitchen. Alternatively, if your home is dry, consider using a humidifier, particularly during the winter months.
Pink Guzmania Bromeliad Sunlight Requirements
Bromeliads typically require plenty of bright indirect sunlight to look their best.
Pink Guzmania Bromeliad Care
Plant Guzmania ’Pink’ Bromeliad in a light, well-draining potting soil with plenty of peat moss, vermiculite, and bark, or use a barky mixture specifically formulated for orchids and bromeliads. A good tip is to add clean rocks or terracotta shards at the bottom of your pot to weigh it down because Bromeliads will grow large bracts and flowers, which can produce a top-heavy plant. When your Bromeliad Guzmania ‘Pink’ is finished blooming, remove the spent flower with clean pruners to the base of the plant. This will provide more light for the pups to grow.
Watering Pink Guzmania Bromeliad
When the soil around the plant is nearly dried out, give this Bromeliad a thorough soak; avoid letting the soil stay soggy as this would be detrimental to the Bromeliad's roots. Pour water into the ‘cup’ (the part of the plant where the leaves meet together to form a cup), and empty it often to prevent mineral buildup. It's best to use filtered water or allow tap water to sit out for 24 hours to evaporate excess chlorine. Guzmania ‘Pink’ Bromeliad will benefit from moderate to high humidity levels.
Feeding Pink Guzmania Bromeliad
Use a balanced, liquid houseplant fertilizer during the growing months of spring and summer, and when the plant is in bloom.

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.
