Neoregelia 'Fireball' is a colourful tropical bromeliad known for its narrow arching leaves that turn brilliant shades of red and burgundy in bright light. Unlike many bromeliads grown for their flowers, 'Fireball' is prized for its vibrant foliage year-round. It forms attractive clumps over time by producing offsets, making it an excellent choice for terrariums, mounted displays, tropical plant collections, and bright indoor spaces.
Plant Care
Light: Bright indirect light to semi-shade. This plant can withstand some morning sun from an east-facing window but any more, and you risk scorching its stunning leaves.
Watering: This plant likes to have its central cup filled with water all the time. In the summer months, keep the soil moist, and in winter, water when the soil begins to dry out. This plant is sensitive to tap water so be sure to use rainwater or filtered water, and flush or change out the central cup water weekly.
Temperature: This plant is easygoing but will not survive temperatures below 10°C
Potting: This plant is an epiphyte (grows on other plants) in the wild. We recommend a chunky well-draining mix to mimic its natural habitat. Our Super Chonk mix should do the trick..or you could even mount this plant to a piece of driftowood to showcase it in its natural element, just be sure to be mindful to give it a bit more water if you decide to mount your plant. The main thing to remember is that your soil is just to hold this beauty in place.
Hot tips: Humidity will really keep this plant happy. Great for a terrarium, bathroom or grouped amongst other plant friends.
Pet Friendly: yes
