Matchstick bromeliads (Aechmea gamosepala) in 20L Air-Pot
$60
Multiple matchstick bromeliads (Aechmea gamosepala) in a 20 litre Air-Pot.
Dimensions of the Air-Pot are 355 mm diameter by 315 mm high. Height of the bromeliads are about the same again.
Called 'matchstick bromeliad' because of the funky psychedelic-coloured 'matchsticks' along the flower spike. (The blue bits are the actual flowers.)
These are epiphytic plants, meaning that in the wild they would normally grow on another plant (without harming it in any way), and thus their roots are designed to attach to a surface rather than to uptake nutrients. They can still grow in pots so long as the medium is free-draining and their leaf 'cups' are always filled with water. (This is where the Air-Pot excels with its superior aeration.)
These are best fertilised with an occasional liquid fertiliser to mimic how epiphytes normally derive nutrients, which is from rotting leaf and other matter collected in the leaves.
As matchstick bromeliads propagate via pups on stolons (runners), I've deliberately kept the side of the pot not visible in photo more open for these to spread into and fill the pot out more over time.
