The Bromeliad is a tropical houseplant with a vivid bloom rising from the center of glossy green leaves. That bright centerpiece holds its color for months, far longer than most flowering plants. It arrives in a white pot, ready for a desk, coffee table, or bright windowsill.

Bromeliads are low-maintenance and unusual in how they drink: a little water poured into the cup at the center of the leaves, plus lightly moist soil, keeps them happy. They’re a good fit for beginners and for anyone who wants long-lasting color with very little upkeep.

Bromeliads are generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs, which makes them a good choice for homes with pets.
