Its real attraction is the striking flower spike: deep blue to purple-blue flowers emerge among contrasting purple-red bracts, carried on an upright red stem. The combination of blue, violet and red gives this hybrid a distinctive appearance that sets it apart from many familiar indoor flowering plants.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnlike plants grown primarily for their foliage, Aechmea ‘Blue Rain’ brings a sculptural quality to a room even before its flowers appear. It is an interesting choice for collectors of bromeliads, tropical plants and unusual flowering houseplants.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt TOMs FLOWer CLUB, I focus on individually cultivated plants, natural development and quality before quantity. My plants are grown organically, without routine chemical sprays, artificial leaf-glossing agents or growth hormones. I prefer healthy, naturally developed plants over artificially accelerated growth.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing conditions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAechmea ‘Blue Rain’ prefers a bright position with filtered light or partial shade. Avoid harsh, direct midday sunlight, which can damage the foliage. Warm indoor conditions are ideal; this tropical bromeliad is not frost-hardy and should be protected from temperatures below approximately 15°C where possible.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUse a light, airy, well-drained bromeliad or epiphyte substrate. Its roots need good aeration, so avoid dense soil and waterlogged conditions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe central rosette forms a natural water-holding cup. During active growth in warm conditions, keep a little clean water in this cup and refresh it regularly. Use rainwater or other low-mineral water where possible. In cooler conditions, reduce watering and avoid leaving cold, stagnant water in the rosette. The substrate should remain airy and must never stay saturated.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLike many rosette-forming bromeliads, an individual rosette flowers once. After flowering, the mother rosette gradually declines while producing offsets that can grow into new plants. This is a natural part of the plant's life cycle, not necessarily a sign that something has gone wrong.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAechmea ‘Blue Rain’ is a distinctive choice for anyone looking for a tropical houseplant with an unusual blue-purple floral display, attractive evergreen foliage and an architectural growth habit.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTOMs FLOWer CLUB – 100% organically grown plants.
