Forest Fire Full Colony (10 Mushrooms) WYSIWYG

Forest Fire full Colony (10 Mushrooms) WYSIWYG

Forest Fire is a proper established colony rather than a starter piece — ten heads of richly textured, deep orange Ricordea spread across a base that glows a vivid teal-blue in contrast. The dense, almost bark-like texture of the fronds against that bright blue base is what gives this colony its name, and at this size it reads as a genuine centrepiece rather than a background filler.

This is a WYSIWYG listing: you receive the exact colony pictured, not a representative example.

Care basics

• Lighting: Low to moderate. Can bleach out or lose vibrancy under overly intense light, so lower placement usually works best.
• Flow: Low. Gentle flow only — heavy flow can cause the polyps to close up.
• Water chemistry: Stable calcium, alkalinity and magnesium matter more than chasing exact numbers.
• Feeding: Not required, but target feeding small meaty foods can help boost growth and colour over time.
• Placement: Peaceful and doesn’t need much space from neighbours, though colonies like this will continue to spread across rockwork over time.

Supplied as pictured — a full 10-head colony.
