This is a wild collected species from Brazil thought to be a lineated or variegated Aechmea sphaerocephala but as it has not yet bloomed, no one is sure of its true identity. Anywa y the plant has the look and so far the size of a sphaerocephala. A large grower, the largest we have is almost 4 feet across, but if it is a true sphaerocephala, it will get even larger. Leaves are 3 inches wide and three feet long, and appear to be yellowish white with light and dark green striations running the length of the leaves. Large and intense, stiff spines. Not a plant for the timid grower! A spectacular plant for those with outdoor conditions suitable or LOTS of indoor space. Nothing else is like this one! First released in 2012. *VIPP plant is a large bare root specimen Show more
