Description
The Vriesea hybrid ‘Red Chestnut x Platynema’ is a striking bromeliad hybrid, celebrated for its vibrant and diverse foliage. The upper side of the leaves emerges in shades of green, accented with soft russet and horizontal banding that becomes more prominent as the plant matures. The underside of the leaves carries a richer, deeper red tone, offering a beautiful contrast when viewed from different angles. This hybrid grows to a medium or large size, forming a broad, attractive rosette of stiff leaves.
Originating from parent species known for their impressive patterns and hardiness, this hybrid thrives in environments with bright, indirect light to partial shade. While it prefers well-lit conditions, it should be shielded from direct sun to prevent leaf burn. The ideal growing environment includes medium to high humidity, making it well-suited for outdoor tropical gardens and indoor plant collections in Australia.
Its unique foliage adds both structure and tropical flair to any space, making it a desirable choice for bromeliad enthusiasts
