Species / Cultivar

Neoregelia — appellation Eteria tigrée

Origin

Horticultural or commercial selection. Parentage and place of selection have not been confirmed; no precise wild origin is assigned to this name.

Foliage

Foliage described as tiger-striped in the product name. Confirm the base colour, band pattern and dimensions against stock.

Habit and development

Rosette-forming habit with room needed for new leaves and eventual offsets. A stable mount or a small volume of airy growing medium helps keep the base well ventilated.

Cultivation

Provide bright indirect light with regular air circulation. Increase light gradually after delivery and avoid intense sun behind glass. Do not confuse a water-holding rosette with tolerance of waterlogged roots.

Terrarium compatibility

• Humid tropical terrarium: Yes, with adequate space and ventilation
• Paludarium: Above water only
• Tropical vivarium: Terrestrial or mounted position, subject to space and animal suitability
• Nano terrarium: Not confirmed for this selection
• Indoor cultivation: Yes, with suitable light

Recommended substrate

Use a coarse, airy blend of bark, coir and perlite, or mount securely where appropriate. Keep the crown clear; do not pack wet sphagnum tightly around the base.

Watering

Use low-mineral water. In warm, active growth, maintain clean water in the central tank and refresh it regularly. Water the root zone sparingly according to drying rate; never leave the base soaking in a saucer or the aquatic part of a paludarium.

Humidity

Humid air is helpful, provided there is ventilation. A precise humidity range for this selection has not been verified; avoid prolonged condensation and stagnant, saturated conditions.

Temperature

Keep in a warm, frost-free setting with stable conditions. A species- or clone-specific optimum has not been verified for this sheet; avoid cold, wet conditions and direct heater airflow.

Growth

Development depends on light, temperature and establishment after delivery. Mature dimensions are to be confirmed for this reference.

Current size

Plant supplied bare-root, without a pot. Size varies with the selection, season and stock received. No flowering stage or exact dimensions are guaranteed by this draft.

Maintenance

Remove only dead or damaged leaves without pulling on the growing centre. Inspect the plant regularly for pests and keep the base ventilated. Allow offsets to develop sufficiently before separating them; decline of an old rosette after flowering can be part of its natural cycle.
