Description: Images one through three show habit and details of both stock specimen plants growing in a California greenhouse. The plants offered for sale are freshly divided, near flowering sized offsets, and are shown in the fourth and fifth images, planted in soil-less bark based mix in 3.5” pots Both plants still have vestigial roots but are developing nice basal offsets already. Pitcairnia sprucei is one of the more striking of all the smaller pitcairnias and is certainly among the best red-flowered species for growers with limited space. Hallelujah! It is also quite spine-free. This very striking and easy to grow bromeliad from the Brazilian, Peruvian, and Colombian Amazon regions in foothill forest to about 3,500’ makes an amazing show when it flowers. Its matte-glossy leaves are also very attractive with a soft texture and bright red mid-vein. While originating mostly from lower to low-middle elevation it is tolerant of night-time temperatures into the mid 40s F (9 C) although some light leaf blotching may occur. After a couple years of cultivation, it makes for a fabulous patio corner or tabletop display for warm, mild climates. This clone is one of two that I grew from wild origin Brazilian seed imported by an acquaintance All plants offered are greenhouse grown on benches in the San Francisco Bay Area, California.
