What Aechmea aculeatosepala is
Aechmea aculeatosepala is a bromeliad from the tropical rainforests. It grows as an epiphyte, meaning it rests on branches rather than in the soil.
You will notice its structure is built to catch water and debris. Living with it requires managing a tank of water in its center and maintaining high humidity around its leaves.
Expect new growth in the form of offsets. You can separate these from the parent plant once they are large enough to sustain themselves.
