Genus: Aechmea
Plant Type: Tropical Bromeliad Hybrid
Growth Habit: Large Rosette-Forming Bromeliad

☀️ Light Requirements

Thrives in bright indirect light or strong filtered sunlight. Increased light exposure often enhances the brilliant red, orange, and yellow coloration. Avoid prolonged harsh afternoon sun in extremely hot climates to prevent leaf burn.

💧 Watering

Water the growing medium when slightly dry while also keeping fresh water in the central cup or “tank.” Flush the cup occasionally to prevent stagnant water buildup.

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

Prefers warm tropical temperatures between 65°F–90°F with moderate to high humidity. Protect from frost and prolonged cold exposure.

🪴 Growing Medium

Use a loose, fast-draining bromeliad or orchid-style mix containing bark, perlite, and coarse organic material for excellent airflow around the roots.

🌿 Growth & Offsets

After flowering, mature plants gradually produce offsets (“pups”) around the base, allowing the plant to continue multiplying and forming impressive tropical clusters over time.

🌴 305 Greenery Tip: Aechmea ‘Miami Heat’ develops its richest coloration with bright filtered light, warm temperatures, and proper airflow. This variety looks especially stunning when grown outdoors in tropical and subtropical climates.
