Bromeliad Dyckia Brevifolia:
It's a crass plant, native to Brazil.
Its growth is very slow but it multiplies while growing. It can tolerate direct exposure to the sun and the lack of humidity in the substrate is not an obstacle to staying alive.
The stem is creeping and forms a round and compact bush, its leaves are thin, rigid and with spiny edges. They form a rosette.
It's widely used for ornamentation due to its small height and the layout of the plant. It adapts to long periods without fluids, but it also stores water in its roots and leaves.
For its reproduction a small plant is removed from its environment. It's separated from the mother plant and planted. It does not need many requirements on the substrate because it adapts to all types of soil. But without reaching the ponding of the substrate.
When it comes to handling the plant, we need to be careful. It's a necessity to be careful with our hands because the leaves have very sharp thorns, which can cause wounds in our hands if we are not careful.
Its flowering occurs through a spike that at the distal end produces dull yellow flowers.
This Bromeliad belongs to my collection group of succulents and cacti. I care for it just like I care for my cacti, since its requirements as a succulent plant are minimal and it needs climatic conditions very similar to those that most cacti need.
Beautiful
