Bold, vibrant, and brilliantly sculptural, the Vriesea ‘Astrid’ more than earns its dramatic nickname — the Flaming Sword. Its vivid bract can hold its colour for three to six months, creating a striking display that instantly energises any space. Each plant arrives paired with a perfectly fitting ribbed ceramic pot, enhancing its modern, architectural form.
With over 250 species in the Vriesea family, this variety traces its origins to the tropical regions of Central and South America. In the wild, it grows as an epiphyte, anchoring itself to trees without drawing nutrients from them — a beautifully gentle guest in its natural habitat.
A true tropical at heart, the Vriesea ‘Astrid’ appreciates humidity and benefits from regular misting to keep its foliage lush. Despite its exotic appearance, it’s wonderfully easy to care for, making it an excellent choice for new plant parents.
