Aechmea mako santan

One of many cultivars of Aechmea chantinii. It’s a large

upright clone with heavey intence banding on outer leaf

( becoming) silvery toward the base and blacker towards the tips, the upper surface is lightly banded in green and silver. Splendid branched long lasting inflorescence. Large scape brachts hang down in bright red. The plant grows epiphytically in full morning sun or 60% afternoon sun.  Available since the 1980’s but not common in average collections.
