Verzorging van Neoregelia Wild Tiger x Golden Pheasant

Neoregelia Wild Tiger x Golden Pheasant loves plenty of bright, indirect light. Under good lighting conditions, the colors remain vibrant and the markings stand out more strongly. Placing it in too dark a light can cause the contrast in the foliage to appear less intense.

Preferably water the central tube and keep the surroundings slightly moist, without the plant remaining wet and enclosed for extended periods. An airy, well-draining environment works best. In terrariums, this bromeliad generally thrives in a warm and humid climate with sufficient air circulation. For Golden Pheasant, a moderate temperature of approximately 16 to 24 degrees is recommended, which aligns well with the general care requirements for compact Neoregelia hybrids.
