Description

Neoregelia 'Damalis' is a stemless funnel bromeliad. Neoregelia species are mostly epiphytes, native to humid, tropical regions of South America. The linear-lanceolate leaves of the cultivar 'Damalis' can develop an intense purple colouring in strong light, which makes this plant an absolute highlight in the terrarium. The graceful leaves grow to about 1,5 cm width and approx. 15 - 20 cm length. This attractive bromeliad forms a rosette, which in turn forms a funnel. The funnel collects water and enables the bromeliads in their natural habitats to survive 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.

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.

Note

The delivered plants have green leaves for the most part and only turn purple with long-lasting strong lighting.
