About This Plant
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Dyckia is a fascinating and unusual genus of bromeliads from South America, remarkable for being drought-tolerant and sun-loving — the opposite of typical shade-and-humidity-loving bromeliads. With sharply serrated, architectural leaves in silvery-grey, bronze, green or red tones, Dyckia plants have a fierce, succulent-like appearance that is unlike anything else. They form compact rosettes that multiply by offsetting (producing pups) to create increasingly impressive clusters over time. Valued by succulent collectors and bromeliad enthusiasts worldwide.
