Neoregelia “Red Alert”

Description

A red focal plant with deep leaf pockets. Red Alert grows medium to large and colours more strongly in good light.

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.
