One of the easiest Bromeliads to grow and one of the hardiest. I have grown Billbergia nutans outside through every British winter for yearS. foliage cascading down like some exotic botanical spider and exploding in late spring and early summer with the most exquisite miniature flowers imaginable. Held aloft on long delicate bracts of soft pink, the clusters of small pendulous flowers have green petals edged with an astonishing tone of metallic-blue and are completed by a dangling set of yellowish anthers. It prefers dappled shade, reasonable overhead shelter from a canopy of larger plants and a well-drained, humus-rich, slightly acidic soil. It has a very small root system and it is this smallness of this root system and its ability to thrive on so little Of course you can also have it inside as a house or conservatory plant where its flowering cycle may tend to be more regular with such pampered treatment but for an 'instant exotic' look of jungle, Billbergia nutans is impossible to beat. Full sun or partial shade. Keep moist in the summer, although they dont need huge amounts of water Note, the photo shows the plant in flower, you will receive a healthy plant in a 7cm pot, taken from the parent plant shown, it may vary from that shown as plants change with the season but will be happy healthy and as it should be of the relevant time of year.
