In the immense family of Bromeliads , Neoregelia are native to Brazil which explains their needs in terms of cultivation and maintenance. The 5000 existing cultivars thus have more or less the same requirements and find a designated place in a tropical terrarium as well as in an interior !
Light : Neoregelia appreciates bright, but indirect light . Avoid full sun which could burn its leaves.
Temperature : A room temperature between 18 and 25°C is ideal.
Humidity : Neoregelia needs a humid environment. Spray its leaves regularly or use a humidifier.
Substrate : Our special homemade Neoregelia and orchid substrate is perfect!
Watering : Water regularly, letting the substrate dry slightly between waterings if you have your Neoregelia in a pot. Fill the central rosette with water and moisten the roots continuously if you use your Neoregelia in the air.
Repotting : Repot your Neoregelia every 2 years, preferably in spring, but this is not mandatory if you keep it in a terrarium under a lamp.
Pruning : Remove dry or damaged leaves.
Fertilizer : Add a liquid fertilizer for epiphytic plants every 4 weeks during the growing season.
The Neoregelia bloom is a sight not to be missed. The bracts in the center of the rosette are colored in bright hues, from red to pink to purple or even simple white.
Substrate too dry : Neoregelia fears drought.
Fertilizer too concentrated : Roots may burn.
