This bromeliad with its green-white leaves covered in a delicate purple hue is a striking variant of the popular Neoregelia pendula. Thanks to its smaller size, it is ideal for smaller terrariums, where it should be kept in a moist, warm and bright location.

Ben's tips on plant care:
- Location/light requirements: bright, without direct sunlight
- Substrate: tied to Xaxim or in peat-free potting soil with a low pH value and good drainage
- Temperature: optimal at 18-26° C (day)
- Watering: when tied up, spray approx. once a week (avoid leaves or allow to dry well!), otherwise only water moderately when the substrate begins to dry, using lukewarm water with little lime. Avoid waterlogging at all costs. Water less in winter.
- Humidity: requires high humidity, use a humidifier or place it in the terrarium
- Addition of nutrients: Fertilize only moderately every 4-5 weeks with diluted liquid fertilizer.
- Avoid draughts.
- If the plant is not mounted, repot about every 2-3 years when the soil is densely rooted.
