Aechmea Del Cielo

🌴 Aechmea Del Cielo (Genus: Aechmea)

The Aechmea Del Cielo is a breathtaking bromeliad celebrated for its cool, sky-blue foliage and soft pastel hints that glow beautifully in bright light. Its architectural rosette, shimmering leaf texture, and long-lasting color make it an unforgettable centerpiece for indoor décor or a protected outdoor tropical patio.

This variety thrives with minimal care — perfect for both beginners and collectors who love dramatic foliage with very low maintenance needs.

🌈 Bromeliad Color Variability: Colors may shift slightly based on light exposure, season, and shipping conditions. Each Del Cielo will be close to the photos but not an exact color match — completely normal for this genus.

🌞 Light Requirements

• Bright, indirect light is ideal.
• Can handle softer direct morning light.
• Avoid harsh afternoon sun, which can fade or scorch the foliage.

💧 Watering

• Keep a small amount of water in the center cup (“tank”).
• Flush and refill the cup every 1–2 weeks to keep it fresh.
• Keep the soil slightly moist but never soggy.
• Excellent drainage is essential.

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

• Thrives between 60–85°F.
• Protect from temps below 45°F.
• Loves moderate to high humidity.

🪴 Soil & Potting

• Use a fast-draining bromeliad or orchid-style mix.
• Terracotta or breathable pots work beautifully.
• Repot only when necessary — bromeliads prefer to be snug.

🌿 Growth Habit

• Forms a symmetrical rosette with elegant, sky-toned foliage.
• Produces colorful bracts when mature.
• After blooming, mother plant slowly fades and produces pups for the next generation.
