Neoregelia Norman Bates, Neo. Norman Bates, rooted seedling

Neoregelia 'Norman Bates'

Date of photography: 2026.05.24

Images 1-6 show the plants for sale. Images 7 and 8 are reference photos of the two parent plants.
When attached to the parent plants, the leaves had more green (outer leaves). The inner leaves with more red stripes are those that emerged after being transplanted and rooted. Because they are grown in direct sunlight, the red stripes are clearly visible.

The current pot is only for temporary rooting, so please repot (pot up) as soon as possible.
This plant is grown in direct sunlight. High light levels promote leaf width. The parent plants reach about 10cm in leaf width.
I like red, so I give them direct sun all year round. For the reference photos, the parent plant with more green receives direct sun except during sunset, and the parent plant that is entirely red is placed where it receives direct sun from before noon until sunset. Please use this as a reference for coloration.
If the plant becomes leggy after growing large, it will look unsightly, so please be careful not to let it become leggy and keep it compact.

For the soil, please use your own judgment based on your home environment, watering frequency, and pot weight. For reference, in my home in Okinawa, I grow them in direct sun and rain, using only Akadama soil. As they grow, I switch between medium and large grain sizes. Make sure the pot is heavy enough so it doesn't fall over.

Price reductions and increases are not accepted. The price will not be lowered over time, so I believe buying at an earlier stage will allow you to maintain the plant in better condition.

The plant will be water-trimmed after purchase, so it may take some time before shipping.
