Neoregelia grenada x pauciflora plus punctata is a micro to small-sized bromeliad that is perfect fora 10 to 20 gallon, 18x18x18 or 18x18x24 . These can be used in smaller enclosures as well. This bromeliad is powdery green-red with dark red speckling. It has a moderately tight-forming cup. Bright light increases coloration. Bromeliads you obtain may be slightlyduller than picture due to lower light conditions. Bromeliads are epiphytic and will send roots out in order to attach to other plants, rocks, or backgrounds. Bromeliads also hold water in their leaves, providing deposition sites for tadpoles. For this reason, we do not recommend planting this Bromeliad in the substrate; if they are watered from the bottom and top, the core can rot. Many dart frogs, especially Oophaga, rely on these plants (and film canisters in captivity) for breeding. Bromeliads form pups from the mature plant and will clump together. Please add fresh water to your bromeliads at least weekly, and allow them adequate ventilation. If you do not have ventilation, we do not recommend keeping them fully filled with water.
