How to keep Guzmania Plumieri.
Light
Guzmania plumieri comes from habitats such as forest understories that provide natural shade. It favors partial sunlight but can tolerate full sun if required.
Temperature
Guzmania plumieri grows best in warm settings. If temperatures fall too low, growth can halt and the plant may sustain frost damage. It tolerates high heat and humidity well and needs a steady level of moisture in its surroundings. However, overly high temperature and humidity can leave the plant prone to fungal infections. In dry conditions, frequent watering and misting are required to keep ambient humidity sufficient. The plant is sensitive to abrupt temperature changes, so maintaining a fairly constant temperature is important.
