Aechmea 'Candy Cane' VIPP 8-26-19 so in shipping this oftenLisa Vinzant s cross of two forms of Aechmea nudicaulis. A nice dark red background color with many silver white bands. The leaves are 1. 25 inches wide with margins that have black spines. This plant grows to about a foot tall and forms nice clusters on short, stout stolons. Contrary to conventional wisdom, growing this plant too hard will not produce the best shape or color. Normal conditions are best. *VIPP plants are Offsets
