Neoregelia Tiny Tot 'Green Red Striped' Mini Hybrid Bromeliad
check_circle In Stock
This miniature bromeliad is a compact hybrid with distinct green leaves marked by red striping. Its lineage traces back to Neoregelia species native to Brazil’s Atlantic Forest, where bromeliads grow epiphytically in bright, humid conditions. The smaller rosette size makes it suitable for terrariums, bromeliad trees, or any space where larger varieties would be overwhelming.
The plant matures quickly and produces offsets freely, forming clusters over time. Like other Neoregelia, each rosette flowers once before passing growth to its pups. Its central water-holding cup benefits from regular flushing to prevent debris build-up, and light intensity directly influences the clarity and depth of the striping.
It adapts well to both pot culture and mounting on driftwood or cork with sphagnum moss. The foliage maintains year-round patterning under good light, and its size allows it to be combined effectively with other miniatures in mixed displays. With consistent moisture and moderate feeding, it will steadily produce new growth and maintain strong colour.
Care Tips:
- Light: Bright, filtered light enhances striping; tolerates moderate indoor levels.
- Water: Keep the central cup filled with fresh water; flush regularly to prevent stagnation.
- Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity but adapts to average indoor conditions.
- Media: Use a free-draining bromeliad mix or mount with sphagnum moss.
- Fertiliser: Apply very dilute liquid fertiliser into the cup or to the roots during active growth.
- Temperature: Best between 15–28 °C; protect from frost.
- Repotting: Separate and pot offsets when they reach one-third to half the size of the parent rosette.
