Aechmea fasciata aka Urnplant

Aechmea fasciata, also known as the silver vase or urn plant, is a species of flowering plant in the Bromeliaceae family. It is native to Brazil and is highly decorative due to its leathery, xiphoid striped green leaves with silvery stripes. This ornamental plant-epiphyte is often cultivated as a houseplant, but its juice can irritate the skin despite its weak toxicity. The colorful blooms in the center of the plant are actually made up of pink 'bracts,' and the plant only produces small purple 'true' flowers just before it dies. In the wild, A. fasciata collects rainwater in the center of its bracts, so it is recommended to leave a small pool of water for them to drink during watering. Despite its popularity in cultivation, A. fasciata still grows in the alpine forests of South and Central America, growing on tree branches and cracks of the rocks and embankments.
