Neoregelia Narcissus
Neoregelia 'Narzis' is an attractive hybrid of the genus Neoregelia, known for its vibrant coloring and compact rosette shape.
The name "Narzis" is likely a reference to Narcissus from Greek mythology, which fits well with the striking, almost self-absorbed appearance of this variety. It is ideal for bright locations and decorative plant arrangements.
Characteristics:
This variety forms a dense, funnel-shaped rosette of broad, smooth leaves. The base color is usually greenish to yellowish, interspersed with strong red to purple speckles or patches. During the flowering period, the coloration in the center intensifies significantly. The small flowers appear in the center of the rosette and are lavender to violet in color.
Care Instructions:
Light: Bright to semi-shady, preferably filtered light – promotes coloration.
Water: Always fill the center of the rosette with fresh water; keep the substrate slightly moist and well-draining.
Humidity: Medium to high (above 50%), occasional misting supports health and color.
Fertilizer: In spring and summer, fertilize 1–2 times a month with our special bromeliad or orchid fertilizer in diluted form directly in the rosette.
Temperature: 18–28 °C, do not keep below 12 °C for extended periods.
Note: Neoregelia 'Narzis' is a decorative addition for indoor spaces, glass containers, or tropical arrangements. Its intense coloring and compact growth form make it a popular eye-catcher – even outside of the flowering period.
Our greenhouses are equipped with modern energy screens and double glazing to efficiently save on heating costs. Additionally, we collect rainwater over the entire roof area of 9,000 square meters and use only this water to irrigate all our crops. We collect the rainwater in underground tanks with a total volume of 600,000 liters.
Since 2007, we have been heating our entire operation with a fully automated 850 kW wood chip heating system and a 100,000-liter buffer storage tank. Environmentally friendly and CO2-neutral. Only to support during very cold winter days and nights is a conventional oil heating system available.
Since 2014, the heating has been supported by a solar thermal system with an annual yield of about 20 megawatt-hours.
In 2020, we installed a photovoltaic system with 30 kW peak and have been producing more green electricity per year than our entire operation requires.
Since 2021, we use exclusively pots for our self-produced plants that are not only 100% recyclable but are also entirely made from recycled pots. To this end, we collect all used pots that arise in our operation and have them picked up in big bags by our pot supplier Göttinger. There, the pots are cleaned and processed in a water-free recycling facility into new pots that come back to us.
