Puya berteroniana

Bromelia breathtaking, so could be to express feelings at the sight of a breathtaking plant name berteroniana Puya. Every spring, this kind of relative of pineapple in a formidable flower stems 3 m high, covered with those most stunning flowers. These are the colors from emerald turquoise, from their Wednesday, September significantly orange anthers that contrast perfectly with the petals. Turquoise color is unique in the plant world, and even rarer in combination with the color orange. His stature, prominent spines and stunning coloring raises Puya really respect.

Puya is a type of root berteroniana Bromelia from the mountains of Chile. Increases from 500 to 2000 m in the coastal mountains in arid areas with rainfall of 400-800 mm per year. Produces silvery green rosette, stiff spiny leaves. Flower stem is soft and the flowers are silky smooth Birds sit down on significant spikes and drink nectar from flowers. Puya berteroniana grow as other types of Bromeliaceae in the trees, but has functional roots, which grow underground, as well as cacti and succulents, as well as creating a large number of offshoots.

Puyu we grow in our conditions. You need a large container garden with good drainage, sandy substrate. From spring to autumn, we can place the plant in a sunny place, indulge in a hearty flowering watering. You can also plant a rose in a free land, but in both cases puyu to store the winter as well as the Oleander. In a cold room, almost without toppings. If we get the seedling planting seeds, we will see the first flowers after five years when the plant is grown. Much faster is multiplication by removing offshoots, which generates enough. The plant is monocarpic, rosette dies after flowering.
