Brom26
Specifications
Billbergia amoena

The Billbergia amoena is a plant of the family of the bromeliaceae and originally native to Brasil. In the wild this type of plant is epiphytic, but this exotic plant will also thrive in a container. Indoors or in a tropical terrarium the Billbergia amoena reaches its full potential. Its plant-growth is typical of the bromelia family with its compact bunch of long, thick leaves. Its inflorescence is striking: on the long, thin stalk grow purple flowers with bright-red leaves. Araflora sells many different colour variants of the Billbergia amoena

Product info

The Billbergia amoena is a bromelia that thrives in a light spot or in some place in the half shadow. The soil should always be quite moist, but the Billbergia amoena does not like stagnant water near its roots. Therefore let excess water drain from the bottom of the container. This exotic plant is not winter-hardy, but can stand all other fluctuations in temperature. The substrate for the Billbergia amoena must be capable of retaining moisture but need not contain many nutrients. Araflora sells different suitable substrates for this type of plant.
