Mini Neoregelia ‘Ounce of Purple’ is a charming miniature bromeliad prized for its vibrant and distinctive foliage. The plant forms a tight rosette of narrow, upright leaves that emerge light green but become heavily adorned with purple spots. As it matures or during its coloration phase, the foliage’s center flushes into a deep purple hue, creating a striking two-tone effect.

This compact bromeliad thrives in bright, filtered or indirect light, which intensifies its purple speckles and flushes without scorching the leaves. It grows best in warm, humid conditions (around 18–25 °C and 60–75% humidity) and prefers a well-draining mix like orchid bark or bromeliad blend. True to its kind, ‘Ounce of Purple’ absorbs water through both leaves and roots—keep its central cup lightly filled with fresh water and maintain slight moisture in the substrate without letting it become waterlogged.

True to Neoregelia habit, after its modest bloom in the central cup, Mini Neoregelia ‘Ounce of Purple’ produces pups on stolons, allowing for easy propagation or creating clustered displays. With its petite size, vivid coloration, and easy-going care, it’s an excellent addition to terrariums, tabletop gardens, and any small-scale tropical plant collection.
