Care Tips:
– Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Can tolerate some shade but avoid direct sunlight.
– Water: Keep the central cup filled with water and maintain lightly moist soil. Empty and refresh the cup regularly to prevent stagnation.
– Humidity: Thrives in high humidity; mist the plant regularly, especially in dry environments.
– Soil: Use a well-draining orchid or bromeliad mix.
– Fertilizer: Feed with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season.
– Temperature: Best kept in warm conditions (18–28°C); protect from cold drafts and frost.
– Repotting: Repot only when necessary, as bromeliads prefer to be slightly root-bound.
– Pests: Watch for mealybugs and scale insects; treat promptly if detected.
