There are many Guzmanias but I’m referring to the Guzmania lingulata, which has the red flower. Now many other varieties are grown in a wide range of colors like orange, yellow, pink, plum, white & even combos of the colors. When I was in the interiorscaping trade, we used these in mass plantings in malls, building lobbies & hotels because people loved their vibrant colors. This bromeliad is easy to find & you may even be able to pick 1 up at your supermarket alongside the other houseplants and cut flowers.

From all I’ve heard, Guzmanias are considered non-toxic for both cats & dogs. Their leaves are nice & crunchy so if your kitty likes to munch away, you might want to keep the plant out of reach. It won’t poison but could make Fluffy sick.

The flowers are actually small, whitish & fairly inconspicuous. You have to look inside the colorful flower head to see them. Speaking of the colorful flower head, it should last & look good for up to 4 months.

Guzmanias make great houseplants & are not only easy to maintain but very colorful also. They made it into the pages of our houseplant care book Keep Your Houseplants Alive so they’re just that fabulous!
