This is an easy architectural clump forming houseplant. It can tolerate cool to warm conditions but is best grown intermediate to warm, average home temperatures will suit it well, though it can tolerate near freezing conditions so may be worth experimenting outside in very mild areas. It enjoys bright to shaded light, warmth, regular spraying and watering/fertilizing. Grow it in any well drained nutrient rich compost, such as mixes of orchid bark, gravel, perlite and humus. Excellent as an individual houseplant, in a display, conservatories, greenhouse or as tropical planting outside in summer. A great companion plant for Orchids and will help raise local humidity. It makes fairly compact funnel shaped rosettes and can grow up to 50cm (1' 8'') tall or so with raching dull to bright green arching serrated edged leaves. Fabulous, colourful Reddish-Pink, Blue and Green flowers appear from bracts on pendulous stems to 50cm (20'') long in Summer. Making excellent specimen plants!
