Cryptanthus zonatus is a perennial that develops a rosette of long, narrow, dark green leaves, which feature distinctive cross-banding in silvery-grey hues and hints of copper. During the summer, it produces small white flowers in loose clusters. This plant is well-suited for use in terrariums and bottle gardens.

Cryptanthus are perennial plants that maintain their foliage year-round, characterized by their rosette shape. They feature leathery leaves with wavy edges and a strap-like appearance, frequently displaying attractive variegation. During the summer, these plants produce small, greenish-white flowers that are generally not prominent but may emit a pleasant fragrance.

This genus comprises terrestrial and lithophytic bromeliads. The species within it range from small, mat-forming varieties lacking flower stalks to more substantial plants featuring robust leaves and tubular flowers that can be greenish-yellow to red, emerging on stems that rise above the foliage.

Deuterocohnia

Deuterocohnia brevifolia is a gradually developing terrestrial bromeliad that creates thick clusters of spiny, leafed rosettes. In the summer, it produces small, tubular green flowers. This species is typically cultivated as a foliage plant in homes or conservatories, particularly in cooler regions.

Dyckia

Dyckia 'Brittle Star' is a resilient bromeliad known for its ability to withstand dry conditions. This slow-growing plant forms clumps with rosettes of greyish, recurved leaves adorned with white spines along the edges and reddish midribs. In hot summer months, established specimens can send up an elongated flower spike featuring vibrant orange tubular blooms.

Dyckia 'Cherry Coke'

Dyckia 'Grand Marnier' is a resilient bromeliad that thrives in dry conditions and grows slowly, typically reaching a height of approximately 25 cm. This plant features rosettes of recurved leaves that display a pale white to metallic grey coloration, edged with spiny barbs. In the heat of summer, established specimens may send up a tall flower spike, which can reach up to 90 cm, adorned with vibrant orange tubular blooms.

Fascicularia comprises a compact group of predominantly terrestrial, perennial bromeliads. The leaves, which are linear and have a toothed margin, are organized in rosettes, while the central part of these rosettes features dense clusters of flowers.

Fascicularia

Fascicularia bicolor is a terrestrial bromeliad that develops a rosette of elongated, spiny-edged, rigid leaves that are evergreen and range from mid to dark green, reaching lengths of up to 50 cm. During the summer months, mature rosettes produce a compact cluster of soft sky-blue flowers, encircled by ivory-white bracts. Notably, the inner leaves of the rosette transition to a vivid red hue at this time.

Fascicularia bicolor

Fascicularia bicolor subsp. bicolor is a terrestrial bromeliad characterized by dense clusters of rosettes featuring elongated, narrow leaves with serrated edges. During the summer months, the innermost leaves of these clusters exhibit a vivid red hue, while mature rosettes are known to produce clusters of blue flowers. These clumps typically reach a height of approximately 50 cm.

Greigia landbeckii

Greigia sphacelata

Guzmania are evergreen perennials that lack stems and develop a rosette of thick, strap-like leaves. During the summer, they produce spikes of tubular flowers that are typically white or yellow, accompanied by prominent bracts.
