Hylaeaicum eleutheropetalum 'Pendulum'

Hylaeaicum eleutheropetalum is a unique species of bromeliad that has quite a few cultivars within it. The leaves are lined with impressive spikes that protect the plant from curious animals and herbivores. The leaves will curl downwards as they continue to grow, adding to the visual interest of the plant. Luckily for bromeliad enthusiasts and beginners alike, nearly all of the plants called bromeliads have the same care. Detailed care information can be found here. Place your bromeliad in an area where it will receive low to bright light.  Members of the bromeliad family, Bromeliaceae, are pet safe- so no worries for our furry friends! While most bromeliads and their relatives are great additions to tropical enclosures, this variety has spines that make them unsafe to be included in reptile or amphibian enclosures.  Plants will be shipped bare root and are suitable for a 4 inch pot. Photos are representative, some variation is to be expected.
