Miniature Pineapple Comosus 'Mi Amigo' -35-45cm - pot size ⌀12cm

Origin and type: The Miniature Ananas Comosus 'Mi Amigo' is a compact tropical houseplant from the bromeliad family, popular because of its decorative appearance and interesting growth habit.

Growth: Remains relatively small and compact; typical banana plant with fleshy, greenish leaves and a small pineapple-like flower head in the center.

Light: Prefers a bright spot without direct sunlight; direct sunlight can burn the leaves, so a bright, partially shaded location is ideal.

Water: Water the plant at its core about once a week; keep the soil slightly moist, but avoid wet feet to prevent root rot; use lime-free water if possible.

Humidity: Likes higher humidity; regularly misting the leaves ensures a healthy plant.

Temperature: Ideal temperature is between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius; do not place below 15 degrees.

Soil: Airy, well-draining potting soil is essential; if necessary, mix potting soil with perlite or sand.

Feeding: During the growing season, feed with liquid houseplant food once a month; fertilize less or not at all in winter.

Pruning: Remove dead or damaged leaves for better growth and appearance.

Repotting: Repot every few years in spring for optimal growth.

Toxicity: Not for consumption; non-toxic, but not edible.

Bonus: Also called the "anti-snoring plant" due to rumors about its beneficial effect on air quality; it adds an exotic touch to your interior with relatively easy care.
