Plant Care

Light Requirements: Provide bright, indirect or filtered light. Avoid harsh direct sunlight.

Water Requirements: Keep the central cup or rosette filled with fresh water using rainwater, filtered water, or distilled water when possible. Also keep the potting mix lightly moist but never soggy. Refresh the central cup regularly.

Fertilizer: Feed lightly with a diluted bromeliad fertilizer during spring and summer. Avoid using strong fertilizer in the central cup.

Soil: Use a light, porous bromeliad or orchid-style potting mix with excellent drainage.

Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures around 65–80°F. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below about 50–60°F.

Pet Safety: Non-Toxic to cats and dogs.

Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity and good airflow.

Growth Habit: A stemless tropical bromeliad that forms a funnel-shaped rosette of strap-like leaves with colorful flower bracts emerging from the center.
