I think it's Aechmea fasciata, @RosemaryDW might know what it is?View attachment 344506
Someone gave it to us because their original had grown many new shoots. Not sure what type of plant and if safe to plant in an outdoor enclosure. Thanks for your help.
Oh ok, thanks! I’m going to see if the family who gave it to us has an exact name for the plant. I was under the impression it was kept outside, but will check.A bromeliad of some sort. Probably pretty tropical and unable to withstand very cold weather. Usually they have water inside the cup where that flower stem comes out. From my friend, Google:
- Provide bright light without direct sun exposure.
- Maintain optimal humidity.
- Keep air flowing around the plants.
- Make sure the plants stay moist but not soggy.
- Provide adequate drainage.
- Fertilize sparingly.
That's absolutely what it is, this variety is Silver Urn, also known as Living Urn, or Living Vase.I think it's Aechmea fasciata, @RosemaryDW might know what it is?View attachment 344510

All Bromeliads can be eaten by tortoises.
No worries...I've never managed to keep one alive as desk plants, so good luck!Thanks!
