Description
Neoregelia 'Raphael' is truly a feast for the eyes. It has some of the most vibrant foliage you'll find in a bromeliad. The stiff, arching leaves are deep green with bold white margins (“albo-marginated,” if you’re geeky), blushing hot pink to deep purply red in high light, particularly in the center. This is a plant that's sure to be a focal point in any room. But it's not just about looks with Neoregelia 'Raphael'. It's as forgiving as it is elegant, tolerating a range of conditions, so you don't have to be a green thumb to keep it happy. Feature Neoregelia 'Raphael' inside where there’s plenty of bright, indirect light to bring out that dazzling hue or on the patio. In summer, keep the soil moist, but in winter allow it to dry completely before watering. The center cup, or tank or vase, is where clusters of tiny flowers grow. It should be kept filled with water year-round. Flush out completely every couple of weeks to avoid stagnant water. Rainwater or distilled water preferred, as tap water causes mineral buildup. Provide bright, indirect light and good airflow. Neoregelias are light feeders. They prefer humidity around 60%, so consider using a humidifier or pebble tray if your home is on the dry side.
