Origin
The Neoregelia 'Donger' is a plant species from the Bromeliaceae family and finds its origin in South America, specifically in the rainforests of Brazil. The 'Donger' is a cultural hybrid, which means it is the result of careful genetic manipulation through human intervention to enhance certain features.

Characteristics
The Neoregelia 'Donger' has a distinctive rosette shape, consisting of broad, flat leaves that grow in a circle and create a cup-shaped central cavity. The leaves have a striking green colour, which becomes more intense with a reddish tint as they receive more light. The plant produces small, unobtrusive flowers that are hidden within the rosette.

Care
The care of the Neoregelia 'Donger' requires specific attention. The plant likes a bright, but not full sun and thrives in a moist environment. For optimal health and colour, it is recommended to keep the central cavity of the plant filled with rainwater. However, overwatering and too low humidity should be avoided as these can lead to root rot and other diseases.
