🌱 Care Guide

Light

Bright, indirect light is ideal. Variegation becomes more defined with stronger light, but avoid long hours of harsh direct sun indoors.

Water

Keep the central cup lightly filled with fresh water and flush it out regularly. Water the soil lightly and allow it to dry slightly between waterings.

Humidity

Thrives in moderate to high humidity but adapts well to normal household conditions.

Temperature

Prefers 65–85°F. Protect from cold drafts below 50°F.

Soil

Use a fast-draining airy mix (orchid bark + perlite + peat). Avoid compact soils.

Fertilizer

Feed lightly during the growing season with a diluted bromeliad or balanced fertilizer. Occasional foliar feeding is beneficial.
