Neoregelia schultesiana T6

Neoregelia schultesiana is a botanical species from the tropical rainforests of Colombia and belongs to the smaller representatives of the genus.
It was named after the American botanist Richard Evans Schultes, a pioneer of ethnobotany. The species is particularly popular for terrariums or mini-arrangements due to its compact growth form and fine patterns.

Characteristics:

This species forms small, dense rosettes with narrow, slightly curved leaves. The leaf color ranges from green to reddish, often with darker spots or stripes. During the flowering period, the center of the rosette turns reddish to pink, and small lavender flowers appear in the heart of the plant. Its compact shape makes it ideal for limited spaces.

Care Instructions:

Light: Bright to semi-shady, no direct sunlight – ideal for windowsills facing east or west.
Water: Regularly fill the center of the rosette with water; keep the substrate well-drained and slightly moist.
Humidity: Medium to high (from 50%), very well suited for more humid environments or terrariums.
Fertilizer: In spring and summer, 1-2 times per month with our special bromeliad or orchid fertilizer in diluted form directly into the rosette.
Temperature: 18-28 °C, not permanently below 12 °C.

Note: Neoregelia schultesiana is excellent for compact planters, mini-gardens, or humid glass containers. Its subtle beauty and small size make it a valuable addition to any bromeliad collection.
