Guzmania Calypso – Starlight Red Bromeliad Care & Info Guide
Horty Hints
Weird about water. Guzmania take in water through their central tank and leaves in addition to their roots. Maintain a filled central tank and flush it out regularly to prevent water from becoming stagnant.
Rosette rebirth. Their striking red bract “flower” will live for 3-6 months before dying right back. New plants can be propagated from shoots that emerge from the mother plant.
Epic epiphytic: Guzmania attach to trees in the wild with roots that never reach the soil, eliminating the need for repotting – except when splitting new shoots or (pups) from the parent plant.
Light
Guzmania Calypso prefers bright, filtered light but avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves. While it can withstand shade, it is not ideal for promoting growth.
Watering
Allow the top of the soil to dry out slightly before watering. Use distilled water or rainwater where possible. Also water the central reservoir in the plant’s rosette.
Temperature
Guzmania prefer warmer household temperatures of between 18°C to 24°C – never below 12°C. Avoid hot & cold draughts that can stress the plant.
Humidity
Bromelia enjoy increased levels of humidity. Mist regularly or sit by the shower for an added boost from time to time.
Feed
Apply a weak dose of liquid fertiliser once or twice a month during the growing season.
