Neoregelia ‘Palmeras’ Care Guide

🌞 Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. More light enhances its vivid colors, while too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves. Partial sun or filtered light is ideal.

💧 Water: Keep the central cup filled with fresh, clean water, changing it regularly to prevent stagnation. Water the soil sparingly, allowing it to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid overwatering, as Neoregelias are prone to root rot.

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity: Thrives in warm temperatures between 65-85°F (18-29°C). Prefers moderate to high humidity levels. If grown indoors, occasional misting or a humidity tray can help maintain moisture.

🌱 Soil & Potting: Use a well-draining bromeliad mix or a combination of orchid bark, perlite, and peat. If grown in a pot, ensure it has drainage holes to prevent excess moisture buildup.

🌿 Fertilization: Apply a diluted liquid fertilizer to the soil or the central cup once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid over-fertilizing, as it may reduce the plant’s vibrant coloration.

✂️ Maintenance: Remove dead or faded leaves to keep the plant looking fresh. After blooming, the mother plant will slowly decline while producing offsets (pups). These can be separated and replanted once they reach about 1/3 the size of the parent plant.

🏡 Placement: Ideal for terrariums, small spaces, or mounted displays. It can be grown outdoors in frost-free climates or indoors as a decorative houseplant.
