Neoregelia Optimus prime

Description

Dark red to purple with bold bands. Optimus Prime brings a strong patterned accent to a bromeliad display.

In your tropical vivarium: Make it a focal plant in a spacious tropical vivarium. Use a broad, stable planting pocket or strong low mount, allowing for mature leaf spread and room around spiny edges.

Care essentials: Bright, filtered light; airflow around the leaves; freely draining roots. Refresh water in the leaf cups and keep the base out of waterlogged substrate.

Also at home: Pot up as a statement houseplant in a bright room or warm conservatory. Use a stable pot with drainage and an airy bromeliad mix.
