Plant Care
Light:
Bright, indirect light is ideal. It can tolerate filtered morning sun but should be protected from harsh direct afternoon rays, which may scorch the leaves.

Water:
Keep the plant’s central “cup” filled with clean water, refreshing it every 1-2 weeks to prevent stagnation. Water the soil sparingly, allowing the surface to dry slightly between waterings. Good drainage is essential.

Humidity:
Prefers moderate to high humidity. Indoor growers may benefit from occasional misting or placing the plant near a humidifier, especially in dry climates or during winter months.

Temperature:
Thrives in temperatures between 60-85°F (15-29°C). Protect from cold drafts and avoid exposure to temperatures below 50°F (10°C).

Soil:
Use a well-draining bromeliad or orchid mix to mimic its natural growing conditions. Avoid heavy, moisture-retentive soils.
