Aechmea fasciata (Silver-Vase, Urn Plant) is a bromeliad native to Brazil. This plant is probably the best known species in this genus, and it is often used like an house plant.
When caring for the plant make sure not to over water it and water it from the cup or top center of the plant. You should change the water in the cup once a week.
When the plant flowers, it will grow pups. And then the mother plant dies. Do not transplant pups untill they are 50% of the mother's size.
