Bromeliads offer an exceptionally unique beauty. The Aechmea (pronounced EEK-me-uh) gets its name from a Greek word meaning “spear tip”. This genus is especially easy to care and offer a great variety in color, foliage and growth habits. They are well suited to grow both indoors and outdoors and thrive in light shade or indirect sunlight. Aechmeas can even flourish in indoor office spaces with the florescent lighting often being enough to satisfy this easy-going plant.
