Neoregelia pauciflora

Neoregelia for Terrariums

Neoregelia plants are an excellent choice for a tropical terrarium, thanks to their compact size, colorful foliage, and ability to thrive in humid environments.

Why Choose a Neoregelia for a Terrarium?

✅ Compact Size: Some species stay small, making them perfect for medium to large terrariums.
✅ Decorative Foliage: Their vibrant colors (red, pink, green, purple) add an exotic and striking look.
✅ Easy to Maintain: They require little substrate, absorb ambient moisture, and need moderate watering.
✅ Non-Toxic: Safe for terrariums with animals like dart frogs or crested geckos.
