Tips for growing your plant successfully:

Light: Nidularium Orange Bract is best grown in partial shade to shade.

Soil: Generally Bromeliads which grow terrestrially, require good drainage and like to grow in soil which is airy and fast draining.

We recommend the addition of compost or fine bark to the planting area.

When growing your plant in containers, it is also important to ensure that you soil is light, airy and free draining. A combination of a good quality potting soil with the addition of either coco peat, pine bark or perlite is recommended.

Watering: Many Bromeliads are surprisingly water wise. When watering, water your plant thoroughly, then allow to dry out before watering again.

Always ensure that there is water in your Bromeliad’s tank, cup or reservoir. The frequency of watering will vary according to the season.

Remember if you are unsure as to whether to water or not, rather keep the plant on a drier side as overwatering can lead to fungal problems which can kill a plant quickly.

Fertiliser: Use a balanced water soluble fertilizer at half the recommended strength once a month during spring and summer.

Temperature: Nidularium Orange Bract is best grown in areas where the minimum winter temperatures are above 0 degrees Celsius.

Product description:

The plant is currently growing in a 15 cm plastic pot and is approximately half the size of an adult plant.

It will be supplied bare root (without a pot or soil).

Although our plants are grown under the same conditions and we carefully handpick your plant to ensure the best quality possible, no two plants are identical.  The colour of plants can also vary according to the season.
