🌿 Botanical Profile – Neoregelia kautskyi

Family: Bromeliaceae

Genus: Neoregelia

Species: Neoregelia kautskyi

Origin: Endemic to Brazil (EspĂ­rito Santo region)

Habitat: Grows as an epiphyte on trees or rocks in tropical forests, where it enjoys bright, filtered light and high humidity.


🌱 Description

Foliage: Forms a tight, symmetrical rosette with broad, glossy green leaves often tinged with reddish or pink hues toward the center. The leaf margins are finely serrated.

Size: Compact species — typically 10–20 cm (4–8 in) in diameter, perfect for terrariums or small displays.

Coloration: When grown in good light, the center develops deep red or magenta tones, especially before flowering.

Flowers: Small, lavender to bluish-purple blooms emerge from the central cup. The flowering period is subtle, but the foliage coloration intensifies during this stage.


đź’§ Care & Cultivation

Light: Bright, indirect light or partial shade. Strong light enhances coloration, while too little light keeps the leaves plain green.

Temperature: 20–28 °C (68–82 °F). Avoid exposure below 15 °C (59 °F).

Humidity: High humidity (>60%) is ideal — perfect for terrariums, greenhouses, or tropical plant setups.

Watering: Keep water in the central rosette (“tank”), changing it regularly to prevent stagnation. Water the substrate lightly and allow it to dry slightly between waterings.

Substrate: Use a loose, well-draining mix (orchid bark, sphagnum moss, perlite, and a bit of coco fiber).


🌸 Uses

Ornamental: Highly prized bromeliad for terrariums, vivariums, and tropical plant collections thanks to its compact form and vivid color contrast.

Display ideas: Looks stunning mounted on driftwood or nestled among ferns and mosses.

Maintenance: Low — thrives with humidity and filtered light.
