Neoregelia spp.

Neoregelia (mini)

Colourful bromeliad cups for humid cabinets with bright shade.

Mini neoregelias hold water in their cups in nature; in sealed terrariums, keep cups nearly empty and rely on humid air plus moist mix.

Why it works

A bold centrepiece that stays relatively low if you choose miniature cultivars.

Watering notes

Moist mix, minimal water in the cup inside closed cases to avoid mosquitoes and rot.

Care tips

  • Mount or plant shallowly.
  • Bright shade keeps colour.
  • Remove pups to control width.

Common problems

  • Cup rot in stagnant sealed systems.
  • Colour bleach in deep shade.
  • Scale on leaf surfaces.
