Aechmea is a group of striking, vibrant bromeliads known for their rosette-shaped foliage and colourful, spiky flowers. The plants feature tough, often variegated leaves, and produce tall flower spikes with bright red, pink, or purple blooms that attract pollinators. These low-maintenance, ornamental plants thrive in bright, indirect light and are commonly used in both tropical landscaping and as decorative houseplants, offering a bold touch to any environment.
