Anyone Know which Bromeliad this is?

Hello all y'all Bromeliad experts! I've had this plant for about 3 or 4 years and have no clue which one it is. I looked through the Plant Files and I'm thinking it may be the Aechmea mulfordii 'Jubilee' .... but I have difficulty Identifying from photo's. Does this one look familiar to anybody? I have it planted in a glass vase and it's been in full shade for the entire time I've had it, usually out on my covered deck, but since the weather got cold, it's inside the house. Hope someone can give some info on this plant.

Thanks,
Lin

Looks like a neoregelia caroline variety to me.

Kyle is probably right.

MORE LIGHT - MORE LIGHT - MORE LIGHT

You are in Florida - you can find a spot with better exposure. Neoregelias live to be in a Florida climate. Six months after you put it in strong light you won't recognize it as the same plant.

Lin our neighbor gave a small tiny green Brom. She said it was nothing Specil. She told us just plop it in the ground. It was maybe 4-6 inches if that.
It got covered by Coleus and other plants but then the sun broke threw on it and I saw it had grown large and was deep Fushia. We had the gardners get it out behind the ramp/deck where a garden was put in before the ramp. It was so pretty but still had a lot of green . today I went out and it is larger and NO green stunning. I will take up-dated picture tomorrow. This was it Nov 2006. Wait till you see it tomorrow it has no green and bigger ! I wish I had a picture of the tiny thing when I got it. It looked like a tiny dead weed. lol

DigitalDave: What do you mean I won't recognize it as the same plant? Will the color change? And, when you say More Light, do you mean direct sun? Or, just brighter light than it gets inside the house?

Lin

The color will change - the green will move to red and the white variegation will become pink. The conformation will also change - the leaves will become wider and shorter (just like the top plant in Allison's picture above). Direct sun - yes in the Winter months, moving gradually into part sun/shade by Summer. Make this change slowly - like us northerners, it's easy to get a sunburn on the first sunny warm day of Spring.

Of course, this is all subjective. If you want to leave the plant indoors and you like the green/white colors just leave it where it is. When it eventually blooms, the innermost part of the rosette will still turn red. It's big enough to bloom now but it may take a lot longer growing inside in dense "shade."

Thanks Dave: I think when the weather warms up a bit, I will definately move it outside to a much brighter location! I can't wait to see the transformation! Thanks again for all the great information!

Lin the few we have ( some for years) are all growing out in ground year round ! Their amazing colors !
Lin your plant will get more colorful in sun ! Could look like this one

Give it a pot with drain hole and Most bromeliads grow best in a very porous organic medium which permits quick water drainage and sufficient air circulation around the roots. There is no one potting mix which is better than any other, Me in pots I use the same as Av's They do like Humdity and air circulation just about the same as Avs do too.
All of ours are in the ground year round and have been doing great !
