Dyckia is a genus of hardy, drought-resistant rosette plants from the bromeliad family, often found in rugged, rocky environments. Their spiky leaves, which can be silvery or bronzed, have sharp edges and a leathery texture, aiding water retention and deterring herbivores. They produce bright, tubular flowers on tall spikes, adding vivid color against their harsh native habitats.

Water: Originating from arid regions, dyckia excels in drought tolerance, requiring watering every 2-3 weeks. Its succulent features aid moisture retention. Thriving outdoors, dyckia prefers well-draining soil that reflects its native habitat, promoting resilience during dry periods.

Propagation: Propagation of dyckia is achieved through division and seed sowing. Key success factors include indirect light, warmth, and well-draining soil. Handle sharp leaf edges carefully, and ensure offsets are mature for division. The process is moderately difficult, requiring specific care for growth and root sensitivity.
