Plant Care

Light Requirements: Bright, indirect light. They can tolerate some gentle morning/evening sun, but harsh afternoon sun can scorch the leaves. More light generally brings out stronger colors.

Water Requirements: Keep a small amount of water in the center cup of the plant. empty and replace the water every 1-2 weeks to keep it fresh. Water the soil only when it begins to dry out, and avoid keeping the soil constantly wet.

Fertilizer: Feed lightly with a diluted, balanced bromeliad or orchid fertilizer about once a month during active growth. Avoid heavy fertilizer, especially in the central cup.

Soil: Use a very well-draining, airy mix. A bromeliad/orchid mix containing orchid bark, perlite, and peat or coco coir works well. Neoregelia are epiphytic and don't like heavy, compact soil.

Temperature: Prefers 65-85 degrees. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below about 50 degrees.

Pet Safety: Pet safe!
