🌿 Care Guide

• Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Can tolerate some direct morning sun but avoid harsh afternoon rays.
• Water: Keep the central cup (tank) filled with clean water and flush it periodically to avoid stagnation. Water the soil lightly when it becomes dry.
• Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity. Mist the plant or place near a humidifier if the air is dry.
• Temperature: Thrives between 65–85°F (18–29°C). Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
• Soil: Use a well-draining bromeliad or orchid mix. Avoid compact, moisture-retentive soils.
• Fertilizer: Use a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer monthly during the growing season. Apply to the soil or lightly into the central cup.
• Pet Safety: Non-toxic to pets, but ingestion is not advised.
