A charming miniature bromeliad featuring glossy green leaves with distinct dark banding, perfect for terrariums and hanging baskets.

Description Neoregelia ampullacea is a highly sought-after miniature species that forms tight, upright rosettes of narrow green leaves. The foliage is distinctly marked with horizontal reddish-brown to purple-black bands, giving it a tiger or leopard-like appearance.

This plant is stoloniferous, meaning it sends out runners to form beautiful hanging clusters rapidly. Its compact size makes it a top choice for terrariums, vivariums, or mounting on driftwood.

Origin & Type This is a botanical species native to the Atlantic rainforests of Brazil. All our stock is ethically nursery-grown and propagated to ensure healthy, pest-free plants without harming wild populations.
