Vriesea gigantea var. seideliana Potted
These little bromeliads are seed-grown here at California Carnivores. This species is a slow grower that, when mature, has spectacular lateral green and white pinstriping on the leaves.
These are slow-growing and do well in terrariums as they particularly enjoy high humidity (70%+) and they will appreciate warmer temperatures day and night.

Water: Water with distilled or purified water frequently, do not let the pots sit in water for long periods of time but be sure to keep the potting medium moist all the time
