Growth pattern: Rosette

Water: When the top 2-3cm of soil becomes dry.

Ideal Position: South or east facing

Light: Bright, indirect or filtered light.

Recommended Substrate: Epiphytic Bromeliads don't need a substrate. You can water them by adding a little bit of water to the crown. Watering the substrate will lead to rot.

Humidity disclaimer: This plant will grow well outside of a terrarium or cabinet. However, all tropical plants thrive with higher humidity levels. To achieve this we suggest grouping plants together, or putting them in a bathroom or kitchen which gets regular use.
