Neoregelia silvomontana

Neoregelia silvomontana is a rare and striking bromeliad native to the Atlantic forests of Bahia, Brazil. In its natural habitat, it grows as an epiphyte high in the canopy, where it captures moisture and nutrients through its sturdy, glossy rosettes. Like other tank bromeliads, it holds water at its centre, providing both hydration and micro-habitats for small organisms.

This species is highly appreciated by terrarium and paludarium enthusiasts seeking to recreate a dense tropical atmosphere. It thrives in high humidity, stable temperatures, and filtered light, making it a perfect choice for rainforest-style enclosures. Whether placed in a terrarium or grown indoors, it maintains its compact shape and vibrant tones, making it suitable for both beginners and advanced growers.

Neoregelia silvomontana adapts well to various setups. It can be grown in a pot with a well-draining epiphytic substrate or mounted on wood, cork, or natural backgrounds. With proper humidity, regular water renewal in the central cup, and bright yet indirect light, it develops healthy foliage and steady growth throughout the year.
