Neoregelia chlorosticta

A spotted, tank-forming Neoregelia from the Atlantic Forest of southern and southeastern Brazil. Little is published on its wild ecology, so these conditions follow our few measured sites and general practice for shade-tolerant Neoregelia: warm, humid, bright-shaded and with water in the central cup.

Where it grows wild

Like most Neoregelia, presumably an epiphyte or occasional ground and rock grower in humid Atlantic Forest, collecting water and debris in its leaf rosette.

Few records carry an elevation; the genus ranges from near sea level to montane forest.

The wild conditions above, turned into targets for a shelf, a tent or a greenhouse. The full profile has:

✓ Day and night temperature targets, and the limits it tolerates
✓ Humidity band, and how to hold it
✓ Light as DLI and PPFD for a grow light
✓ Wet and dry seasons, and whether to rest it
✓ Substrate and airflow
✓ A step-by-step setup to grow it like the wild
