Aechmea nidularioides x poitaei

A Chester Skotak hybrid, this plant forms a 30 inch rosette of coppery leaves with moderately spiny margins. The inflorescence is about 12 inches tall, forming a sort of cone-shape with bold red, white-tipped bracts more reminiscent of the nidularioides parent and is very long-lasting in color. A good plant for landscape use in warm climates. *VIPP plants are Offsets
