What is the name of the plant in this photo: http://pixpipeline.com/s/b0555... ?

The pink part is somewhat thick, like an aloe plant, not thin like flower petals. I need to find out what it is so I can learn how to take care of it :)

What is the name of the plant in this photo: http://pixpipeline.com/s/b0555... ?
It is a Bromeliad.

Pineapple %26amp; Air Plants are also in the same family.

If you look at the stem of the plant you will see it forms a cup like container. Use distilled water and pour the water in there rather then into the soil.



They can also be attached to tree/branches. I saw someone on Phil The Garden Guy on HGTV make a beautiful tree out of a branch in a large pot. He attached all types of Bromeliads to it for the corner of his living room.



The blooms are temporary but long lasting.



There are a lot of beautiful varieties of blooms.

Reply:If you are lucky, it will put out a 'pup' or smaller offshoot of the plant that you can break away from the parent and plan. It looks like you have a beauty there.
