Care
Light: Neoregelia ‘Zoe’ does best in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, especially in the morning or late afternoon, but too much direct sun can cause leaf burn. Proper lighting enhances the plant’s vivid colors.
Watering: Keep the central cup filled with fresh water and ensure the soil remains moist but well-draining. Regularly change the water in the central cup to prevent stagnation and bacterial growth.
Humidity: High humidity is ideal for this bromeliad. In indoor environments, misting the plant or using a humidity tray can help maintain adequate moisture levels.
Fertilization: Use a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer every 2-3 months during the growing season. Avoid pouring fertilizer directly into the central cup to prevent damage.

Maintenance: This bromeliad is relatively low-maintenance and suitable for both novice and experienced gardeners. Ensuring proper lighting and humidity will help maintain its vibrant appearance.
