Origin
The Bromelia Royal Cupcake mix is a collection of plants from the bromelia family that primarily originate from South America. These tropical regions are characterised by warm temperatures and high humidity, conditions in which the bromelias flourish best. Within this family there are numerous species and variations, including the Royal Cupcake mix, which stands out due to its unique composition of different bromelias.
Characteristics
The Bromelia Royal Cupcake mix can be recognised by its brightly coloured bracts and exotic flowers that grow in the middle of the plant. These colourful plants vary considerably in size, shape and colour, but share the common characteristics of long, sturdy leaves that form a rosette. What is striking about the Royal Cupcake mix is the special variation of red, pink, orange, yellow, and purple tinted plants that together create a striking expression.
Care
The care of the Bromelia Royal Cupcake mix requires some attention and precision. The plants require a warm environment with plenty of natural light, but no direct sunlight. Additionally, high humidity is beneficial, just like in their natural habitat. Watering should take place in the middle of the rosette where the flowers grow, and not in the potting soil itself. Overwatering should be avoided to prevent root rot, it is important that the plant can dry out between waterings.
