🌿 Care Guide:

☀️ Light:
Prefers bright, indirect sunlight or filtered light. Can tolerate some direct sun outdoors, especially in the morning.

💧 Water:
Fill the center “tank” with water and flush regularly to prevent stagnation. Water the soil lightly and allow it to dry out slightly between waterings.

🌡 Temperature:
Thrives in warm temperatures between 60–85°F (16–29°C). Protect from frost.

💨 Humidity:
Enjoys moderate to high humidity. Misting occasionally can help in dry environments.

🌱 Soil:
Use a well-draining bromeliad mix or orchid bark blend. Good airflow around the roots is essential.

🌸 Blooming:
May produce a tall, vibrant inflorescence once mature, often followed by pups (offsets) at the base.
