Silver vase plant

By Denny Schrock

 

Silver Vase Plant

The stiff, gray-green leaves of this pineapple relative are edged with spines and form an upright vase or urn shape. Silver vase plant sends up a large cluster of long-lasting pink bracts that bear short-lived purple flowers. After the bracts fade, new offshoots, called pups, develop at the base of the mother plant.

Here's a tip: Pour water directly into the vase to provide moisture for the plant.

Why We Love It: It's one of the most dramatic, easy indoor plants you can grow.

Name: Aechmea fasciata

Growing Conditions: Bright light; 65-75 degrees F.; water the foliage vase rather than the soil

Size: To 3 feet tall and wide
