🌿 Care Guide:

☀️ Light:
Thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun, which can bleach the leaves. It can tolerate medium light but may not flower as readily.

💧 Water:
Water into the central “tank” or cup of the plant. Refresh the water weekly to prevent rot. Soil should remain lightly moist, not soggy. Let the top inch of soil dry between waterings.

💨 Humidity:
Enjoys moderate to high humidity. Mist occasionally or place near a humidifier if your space is dry.

🌡️ Temperature:
Ideal temperatures range from 65°F to 80°F. Avoid cold drafts and never expose to temps below 55°F.

🌱 Soil:
Use a well-draining bromeliad mix or orchid bark blend. A pot with drainage is essential.

🌸 Flowering:
While Vriesea ‘Milky Way’ blooms only once, the showy flower spike can last for weeks. After blooming, the plant will begin to produce pups (baby plants) that can be separated and grown on.

✨ Style Tip:

Perfect as a table centerpiece or shelf accent, the Vriesea ‘Milky Way’ brings celestial charm and tropical vibes to your home — no green thumb required.
