Van Durme Neoregelia Kokedama
Transform your home into a tropical showcase with the Van Durme Neoregelia Kokedama. Native to the rainforests of South America, Neoregelia is a bromeliad prized not for its flowers but for its extraordinary foliage. These bold plants form a colorful rosette whose center often flushes with brilliant shades of red, pink, or purple as they mature. The Van Durme hybrids are especially sought after for their hardy nature, vibrant coloration, and striking personality—making them a favorite among collectors and plant lovers alike.
Key Features:
-
Exotic Origins: Part of the bromeliad family, Neoregelia brings a lush, tropical aesthetic indoors.
-
Striking Foliage: Leaves flush with bold color at the rosette’s center, creating a living work of art.
-
Durable & Hardy: Van Durme cultivars are known for their toughness and adaptability.
-
XL Size: Due to the broad foliage, each kokedama measures approximately 6–7 inches wide, making this an extra-large statement piece.
-
Natural Life Cycle: After several years, the mother plant will complete its cycle and begin producing “pups” (baby offsets) around the base. These pups can be separated and grown into new plants, continuing the legacy of your kokedama.
-
Handmade Design: Crafted in the traditional Japanese moss ball style, giving you a one-of-a-kind piece of botanical art.
-
Display Options: Showcase it with hanging fishing wire for a floating garden effect or on a large gold stand for a dramatic, elevated look.
Care Instructions:
-
Light: Provide bright, indirect light to maintain strong coloration. A little gentle morning sun is fine, but avoid harsh afternoon rays.
-
Water: Keep the central rosette (“cup”) filled with fresh water, refreshing weekly. Water the moss ball itself every 1–2 weeks by soaking, then allow to drain fully.
-
Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity—mist occasionally to replicate its rainforest habitat.
