Guzmanias have oh so colorful flowers & are easy care houseplants. This 1 is popular because of its large, star shaped bloom. What sets it aside from many of the other bromeliads is that it is available in a wide range of flower colors.

There are many Guzmanias but I’m referring to the Guzmania lingulata, which has the red flower. Now many other varieties are grown in a wide range of colors like orange, yellow, pink, plum, white & even combos of the colors. When I was in the interiorscaping trade, we used these in mass plantings in malls, building lobbies & hotels because people loved their vibrant colors. This bromeliad is easy to find & you may even be able to pick 1 up at your supermarket alongside the other houseplants and cut flowers.
From all I’ve heard, Guzmanias are considered non-toxic for both cats & dogs. Their leaves are nice & crunchy so if your kitty likes to munch away, you might want to keep the plant out of reach. It won’t poison but could make Fluffy sick.
The flowers are actually small, whitish & fairly inconspicuous. You have to look inside the colorful flower head to see them. Speaking of the colorful flower head, it should last & look good for up to 4 months.
Guzmanias make great houseplants & are not only easy to maintain but very colorful also. They made it into the pages of our houseplant care book Keep Your Houseplants Alive so they’re just that fabulous!

I bought my wife two of these today for her birthday. I must say I've been doing extensive research and you are the most knowledgeable person to explain the care of these flowers!! Very great video!! My wife has now subbed! Thanks for a wonderful learning experience 😁

Orchids are great - they bloom annually and we come to expect it. So you can imagine my absolute excitement when my two guzmania pups started to show signs of flowering back in December. The leaves in the center suddenly became a lighter shade of green, and are now turning red. I had no idea what I was doing 3 years ago when I removed and potted the pups, but the wait was worth it. Bromeliads may be my new favorites!

I am by no means a gardener nor do I have much experience with plants, however, I have decided to start with orchids and just got one of these Guzmania as a gift, so I am looking for information. Your liveliness and very pleasant personality make any plant learning a real pleasure and easy to put into practice as well. Thank you very much! Angela

This is a very resilient plant. I was gifted one about three weeks before a big house move. It looked like it had a fungus, so I isolated, and treated it, fully not expecting for it to survive. It was placed in a not so sunny window and occasionally giving a grow lamp. Come moving day, it was still surviving. Moved to a new place and still isolated in a not so sunny area. It still looked good. I treated it again one time in the new home. Today, I moved it to a sunnier area , close to my other plants. I’m hoping it continues to be better and better.

Hello hope all is well. I just bought the Guzmania plant it is such a beautiful plant. However, Im not familiar with this plant or plants period😊. Once I got the plant home I started researching and came across one of your videos then this one. I will be keeping my Guzmania in the house in my living room. My question is that I turn the light off at night and in this video you stated it likes bright light but not direct sunlight. Should I place it where it is constant light or will it be safe at night with the light out even though sometimes I leave my lamp light on which isn’t very bright. Please advise and thanks in advance

Hello there, great video but i still have a question. I got a paludarium (vivarium with both land and water) with frogs from someone for free. In there was a bromeliad that was not looking very well at all, but i decided to keep it in there after i did some clean up on the whole tank. After a while i noticed the plant getting better, looking more vibrant and alive, so i was happy. Then suddenly the top leaves started to change into a red flower, so i guess it's a guzmania. My question now : there are now some white 'sticks' in the middle of the flower, are those seedpods and if so, when can i harvest the seeds? (sorry for the language, i'm not an english speaking person...)

i’ve been taking care of mine for 6 months and she had 3 scars that have been with her since i bought her, some of her leaves were cut out because her children were too close to her and like 2 or 1 leave were cut in half by accident from the pups both, mine is green but i don’t think she seems fine even though she’s alright, she stopped growing a while ago, she usually used to grow very quickly

I noticed that in plant departments Like Home Depot and others they have bromeliads in these sort of self-watering pots with soil that holds moisture and it is always very soggy. I never had luck with bromeliads because of the misinformation online. Some people say keep the cup at the very top full as well as the soil others say only keep water in the top cup and do not water the soil, but your instruction is to water it very little without fertilizer into the base. There is another bromeliad that is very attractive called I believe a dragon's tongue? For my orchids I am using this coarse coconut fiber which seems to work well. What is your advice on a plant called a Tillandsia pink quill Cyanacea? These keep dying on me also.
