Neoregelia 'Pink on the Inside' – Pink-Centred Bromeliad for Terrariums | India

💰 Price per plant: ₹900

Neoregelia 'Pink on the Inside' hides a vivid pink heart within a green rosette, a colour surprise that reveals itself when the plant is viewed from above. Neoregelias are among the most popular bromeliads for planted terrariums and vivariums, grown for the colour held in their leaves rather than for their flowers; each plant forms a low rosette with a watertight central cup.

Origin and form

The Neoregelia genus comes from the rainforests of eastern Brazil, where the plants grow as epiphytes on branches and among leaf litter. 'Pink on the Inside' flushes its inner leaves bright pink, and that centre intensifies as light increases.

Care at a glance

• Light: bright, indirect light deepens the pink centre.
• Water: keep the central cup topped up with clean, fresh water; let the mix stay lightly moist, not soggy.
• Humidity: high; thrives in closed terrariums, vivariums and paludariums.
• Temperature: comfortable from about 15°C to 32°C, covering normal indoor conditions across India.
• Difficulty: easy, one of the most forgiving bromeliads for beginners.

Styling and terrarium use

Because terrariums are usually viewed from above, 'Pink on the Inside' is perfectly placed as a centrepiece in a vivarium, the planted land zone of a paludarium, or a larger terrarium, where its pink heart looks straight up at the viewer. Its cup suits dart-frog vivariums. Grow it emersed, above the waterline; it is not an aquatic plant and must not be submerged. The foliage is non-toxic and pet-safe.

Propagation

Each rosette flowers once, then sends out pups around its base. Detach them when they reach about a third of the parent's size to grow on, so one plant slowly becomes many.
