Aechmea 'Lucky Stripes' – Variegated Bromeliad for Terrariums | India

Aechmea 'Lucky Stripes' earns its name with boldly striped foliage — a variegated bromeliad that adds pattern and movement to terrariums, vivariums and paludariums. The lengthwise stripes run along each leaf in the classic Aechmea rosette, with a central cup that holds water.

Care at a glance

• Light: bright, indirect light keeps the striping crisp.
• Humidity: thrives in the humidity of enclosed planted setups.
• Watering: keep the central cup filled with clean water; mist regularly.
• Climate: easy indoors across India year round.

Where it thrives

Great as a patterned highlight in a vivarium, the planted land zone of a paludarium, or a larger terrarium. The cup holds water — a bonus for dart-frog vivariums. Grow it emersed, above the waterline — it is not an aquatic plant.

Why you will love it

Variegated foliage means it looks striking even without a flower, adding contrast against plain green plants.
