The Billbergia 'Kolan Mulberry and Cream' is a hybrid bromeliad known for its striking foliage, featuring shades of purple and cream, often marbled or striped. It also produces vibrant floral spikes, making it a highly decorative plant.

Care Guide:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions.

• Watering: Keep the central rosette lightly filled with water while avoiding excess moisture in the soil.

• Substrate: Use a well-draining mix, such as orchid bark or a peat-based mix with perlite.

• Humidity: Thrives in humid conditions but can adapt to drier environments.

• Temperature: Ideal range is 15-25°C (59-77°F); avoid temperatures below 10°C (50°F).

Offsets (Pups):

Like all bromeliads, Billbergia 'Kolan Mulberry and Cream' produces offsets (pups) at its base after flowering. Once a pup reaches about ⅓ to ½ the size of the mother plant, it can be separated and potted individually.

How to propagate:

1. Allow the cut pup to dry for a few hours before planting.

2. Place it in a well-draining substrate and keep it slightly moist.

3. Wait a few weeks for it to establish roots.
