They readily form offsets (pups) and will grow into a neat colony with age. They are excellent for house plants, open terrariums or fairy gardens. Long, succulent, silver white leaves with fabulously ferocious teeth. Dyckias are the most cold tolerant of the Bromeliad family. They are drought tolerant but thrive on frequent watering during the active growing season. Keep plants on the dry side during cold weather.
