Neoregelia ‘Lila Candy’

Description

Genus: Neoregelia

Botanical Name: Neoregelia ‘Lila Candy’
Also known as: Lila Candy Bromeliad

Product Description:

Sweet as its name suggests and bursting with color, Neoregelia ‘Lila Candy’ is a dazzling bromeliad that brings a playful yet exotic vibe to any indoor jungle or patio collection. Its glossy, arching leaves are splashed in bubblegum pink, lavender, and cream, forming a tight rosette with a bold central cup that can flush bright pink or purple when mature or in bloom.

Perfect for adding tropical flair to desktops, shelves, or garden beds, this plant is not only a stunner—it’s low-maintenance and incredibly versatile. Use it as a pop of color in a terrarium, mount it on driftwood, or let it shine as a standalone centerpiece. Neoregelia varieties like ‘Lila Candy’ thrive with minimal care but maximum style.

Care Guide:

• Light:
  Bright, filtered light or partial sun. Too much direct sun may fade the vivid leaf colors; too little can dull the plant’s vibrance.

• Water:
  Keep the central cup (the tank) filled with fresh water. Change it weekly. Lightly water the soil or mounting base occasionally to keep it just barely moist.

• Humidity:
  Thrives in high humidity but adapts well to normal indoor levels. Mist occasionally if air is dry.

• Temperature:
  Best in 65–85°F. Avoid cold drafts or temperatures below 50°F.

• Soil:
  Use a well-draining bromeliad mix or orchid bark. Can also be mounted without soil if kept humid.

• Pet Safety:
  Non-toxic to pets. A safe and stunning option for homes with cats or dogs.

Fun Fact:

Like other Neoregelia bromeliads, ‘Lila Candy’ only blooms once in its lifetime, but the showy color changes and pups (baby plants) it produces afterward mean the beauty lives on for years.
