An eye-catching ornamental bromeliad featuring striking leopard-spotted foliage and vivid pink-tipped leaves that intensify in sunlight.
Description Billbergia saundersii is a stunning compact bromeliad known for its upright, tubular rosette. The stiff green leaves are heavily splashed with silver-white blotches, creating a dramatic "leopard" pattern that stands out in any collection.
When grown in bright light, the leaf tips blush a deep rose-pink, offering a beautiful contrast. It produces a dazzling pendant flower spike with blue, green, and yellow blooms encased in bright pink bracts.
Origin & Type This is a pure species native to the Atlantic Forest of eastern Brazil. Our specimens are 100% ethically nursery-grown and propagated, ensuring that they are never wild-collected and are fully acclimatized.
Care Guide
- Light: Thrives in bright indirect light to partial sunlight. Morning sun is essential to bring out the pink coloration and vivid spots.
- Water: Keep the central "cup" or vase filled with fresh water. Mist the leaves in dry weather and keep the soil slightly moist but not soggy.

- Temperature: Perfectly suited for the Indian climate. It prefers warm temperatures (20°C–30°C) and should be protected from extreme cold.
- Growth Rate: A vigorous grower that clumps readily, producing multiple "pups" (offsets) per season.
