About this plant

Neoregelia kautskyi

A rosette-forming bromeliad that brings structure to a terrarium’s green landscape.

Kew recognises Neoregelia kautskyi as an accepted species native to Espírito Santo, Brazil. It grows as an epiphyte in a wet tropical environment: using other plants as a growing surface without being parasitic.

More about plant care

The rosette forms a natural focal point. Leave space for the leaves and make sure the plant is secure. Colour can change with lighting and growth. Refresh water that has stood in the cup for a long time; the roots should not sit in a swamp.

This guidance covers the plant group. The specific cultivar, plant size and conditions in your terrarium may require adjustments.
