Item Lore
As a member of the *Aechmea* genus, these bromeliads are prized for their dramatic, long-lasting inflorescences and structural, rosette-forming foliage. Native primarily to the tropical regions of the Americas, they are culturally significant for their ability to thrive as epiphytes, absorbing moisture and nutrients directly from the air and rain through their central water-collecting cups.
