Description

Neoregelia pauciflora 'Colombiana' is the Colombian variety of the stemless small bromeliad N. pauciflora, which is native as an epiphyte in tropical South America. The mostly linear, spiny leaves, rounded at the tip, are green and turn purple towards the leaf sheath, provided there is good light. The leaves are about 1 cm wide and about 10 - 15 cm long. This dainty bromeliad forms a rosette, which in turn forms a funnel. The funnel collects water and enables the bromeliads in their natural habitats to survive even longer dry periods. This funnel water should be replenished at regular intervals outside the flowering period (June - August), but changed every 3 to 4 weeks so that it does not become putrid. Neoregelia pauciflora 'Colombiana' bears white to pale blue flowers sunken into the rosette when in flower.

Unlike many other bromeliads, the mother rosette does not die immediately after flower and pup formation. Without any intervention, the pups and mother thus grow together to form a pretty and voluminous clump.
But the pups can also be carefully removed and separated when they are about a third of the size of the mother plant.

Daughter plants also often hang down from long stolons in nature.

This small bromeliad does not grow taller than 10 - 15 cm and therefore suits smaller terrariums excellently.
