Billbergia 'Arribella' – Live Bromeliad for Terrariums & Vivariums | India

Billbergia 'Arribella' is a fast-growing tubular bromeliad whose upright, vase-shaped rosette and mottled colouring make it a natural vertical accent in vivariums, paludariums and terrariums. Billbergias are among the toughest, quickest bromeliads to grow, clumping readily and shrugging off neglect.

Care at a glance

• Light: bright, indirect light deepens the colour and markings.
• Humidity: loves the humidity of closed terrariums and vivariums.
• Watering: keep the central tube topped with clean water; mist the leaves.
• Climate: very well suited to India’s warm conditions.

Where it thrives

Its narrow, upright form is perfect for tucking into tighter spots in a vivarium or the planted land zone of a paludarium, and it clumps to fill space over time. The water-holding tube suits dart-frog vivariums. Grow it emersed, above the waterline — it is not an aquatic plant and must not be submerged.

Why you will love it

Fast, forgiving and colourful, it gives quick vertical impact and multiplies into a clump before long.
