Neoregelia ‘Compacta’ Bromeliad

Common Name(s): Compacta Bromeliad

Scientific Name: Neoregelia ‘Compacta’

• Description: Neoregelia ‘Compacta’ is a tropical plant that is a vibrant bromeliad with a compact growth habit, featuring broad, flat leaves in a stunning rosette pattern. The leaves are bright green with a glossy finish and often display beautiful red or purple hues near the center when exposed to bright light.
• Bloom Time: Rarely blooms indoors, but when it does, it produces a small, inconspicuous flower within the central cup.

Requirements & Care:

• Sunlight Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little light can diminish the leaf colors.
• Water Requirements: Moderate; water should be added to the central cup, and the soil should be kept slightly moist but not waterlogged.
• Soil Requirements: Requires well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. A standard orchid mix or a mix designed for epiphytes works well.
• Hardiness Zones: Best suited for indoor environments but can be grown outdoors in USDA zones 10-11.
• Special Care Instructions: Avoid letting water sit in the central cup during cold temperatures to prevent rot. Fertilize monthly during the growing season with a diluted liquid fertilizer.

Additional Information:

• Benefits/Uses: Its compact size and colorful foliage make it ideal for desktops, terrariums, or as part of a mixed container. Adds a tropical flair to any indoor setting.
