☀️ Light
Prefers bright, indirect sunlight. Can tolerate some direct sun but avoid prolonged exposure, especially in hotter climates.
💧 Water
Water moderately, allowing the top layer of soil to dry out between watering. Reduce watering in the cooler months.
🌱 Soil
Requires well-draining soil. A mix specifically for bromeliads or orchids works well.
🌡️ Climate
Thrives in warmer temperatures and can tolerate a range of humidity levels. Can tolerate some frost.
💪🏻 Feed
Feed with a slow-release fertiliser during the growing season. Over fertilising can harm the plant.
