Alcantarea

Native to Eastern Brazil, Alcantarea is a group of extremely large Bromeliads, some reaching sizes of 1.5m across with flower spikes 2.5m high. In their natural habitat they are often found perched on the beautiful high rocky cliffs of Brazil.

Alcantarea require an extremely free draining mix. Plants are tolerant to most positions, with some varieties performing well in either full sun, or part shade. The best colours are usually achieved in high light. Liquid fertiliser produces good results and slow release fertiliser in the pots will improve plant health and vigour.
