🌱 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.
