Aechmea 'Orange Torch' – Flowering Bromeliad for Vivariums | India

Aechmea 'Orange Torch' is all about the flower — a vivid, torch-like orange inflorescence rising from a neat green rosette, a real showpiece for vivariums and paludariums. The central cup holds water in the classic Aechmea way, and the bloom holds its colour impressively long.

Care at a glance

• Light: bright, indirect light encourages strong flowering colour.
• Humidity: thrives in the humidity of enclosed planted setups.
• Watering: keep the central cup filled with clean water; mist regularly.
• Climate: grows well indoors across India.

Where it thrives

A flowering centrepiece for vivariums, the planted land zone of a paludarium, or a roomy terrarium. The water-holding cup is a bonus for dart-frog vivariums. Grow it emersed, above the waterline — it is not an aquatic plant.

Why you will love it

That fiery orange torch is a genuine focal point and lasts far longer than most houseplant blooms.
