Neoregelia 'Fireball'
All plants ship bare-root.
Neoregelia 'Fireball' is a compact, colourful bromeliad whose tight rosettes glow bright red in strong light, often with a touch of green at the base. A true miniature at about 10–15 cm across, it turns green in shade, so the brighter the light, the redder it gets. It offsets readily, forming clusters of brilliant rosettes. Mature rosettes produce small blue flowers in the centre.
How to keep it happy
Bright, indirect light from an east or south window, without harsh midday sun. Stiffer, colourful-leaved types take more light than soft green-leaved types.
Keep the central cup filled, flushing it with fresh water weekly to every couple of weeks to prevent rot. Keep the potting media lightly moist, never soggy.
A chunky, fast-draining orchid-bark mix rather than a peat-heavy houseplant soil.
These aren't carnivorous, so normal fertilizing applies. Use a diluted liquid fertilizer lightly on the mix or leaves, and ease off in winter.
None needed. Bromeliads grow year round.
