DyckiaFamily: Bromeliaceae
Subfamily: Pitcairnioideae
Origin: South America
Dyckia remotiflora typically grow to a maximum height of between two and five feet, although most of them are considerably smaller and resemble a mound of green or silver. They prefer to grow in full sun, although they can also do well in semi-shade environments. These low-growing plants are native to South American regions, including Brazil and Paraguay. They produce an ornamental foliage that is either green or silver in color and is quite interesting in texture.
Dyckias are also technically known as epiphytes, meaning that they often grow by attaching themselves directly onto other objects such as trees or rocks. Because of this habit, they do not need very much soil in order to thrive.
The interesting colorful blossoms of the Dyckia remotiflora are one of the main characteristics that makes it such an attractive houseplant. These flowers come in a range of colors, including red, crimson, and vinous, as well as yellow and orange. Additionally, these plants possess thorny or spiny foliage, adding to their allure.
This type of ornamental plant is typically grown in USDA Hardiness Zones 9-11. In colder climates, it can be grown in a pot and moved indoors during cold weather. The plant will require regular watering, although it should only be done when the soil is dry.
Overall, the Dyckia remotiflora is an easy-to-care-for plant that is sure to add a splash of color and texture to any indoor or outdoor space. Its unique foliage and array of colorful blossoms will bring a brightness and vibrancy to any home or garden.
