Why It’s Special?
What makes the 'Red Chestnut' Vriesea so unique is its captivating color combination and easy-care nature. Unlike many flowering plants, its blooms can last for several months, making it a long-lasting showpiece.

This rare and visually stunning plant is a must-have for collectors looking to add a touch of the tropics to their space.
Plant Care Instructions:
**Light** – Thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate some shade. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves.
**Watering** – Keep the central cup filled with fresh, non-chlorinated water, emptying and refilling weekly to prevent stagnation. Water the soil lightly when dry.
**Humidity** – Prefers high humidity (50%+). Mist regularly or use a humidity tray in dry environments.
**Temperature** – Enjoys warm temperatures between 65°F–80°F (18°C–27°C). Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
**Soil** – Use a well-draining, airy bromeliad mix or orchid bark to support healthy root growth.
**Fertilization** – Apply a diluted liquid fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season, spraying it into the cup and on the leaves.
With its exotic beauty and minimal maintenance needs, the Bromeliad Vriesea 'Red Chestnut' is an eye-catching and rewarding addition to any plant collection, bringing a bold tropical flair to indoor and outdoor spaces alike.
