<h3>🌱 Care Guide</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Light:</strong> Bright, indirect light is ideal. It can tolerate some filtered sun, which enhances its coloration, but avoid direct midday sun to prevent leaf scorch.</li>
<li><strong>Water:</strong> Keep the central “cup” filled with clean water, and flush it out every 1–2 weeks to prevent stagnation. Water the soil lightly to keep it just barely moist.</li>
<li><strong>Humidity:</strong> Prefers high humidity (50%+), making it ideal for bathrooms, greenhouses, or homes with a humidifier.</li>
<li><strong>Temperature:</strong> Thrives between 65–85°F (18–29°C). Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 50°F (10°C).</li>
<li><strong>Fertilizer:</strong> Use a diluted bromeliad fertilizer monthly during the growing season. Apply to the cup or mist over the foliage — avoid heavy feeding.</li>
<li><strong>Potting:</strong> Use a well-draining orchid bark mix or bromeliad soil in a shallow pot. Good air circulation around the roots is essential.</li>
<li><strong>Growth:</strong> Mature rosettes bloom once before producing offsets (pups). You can separate and repot pups once they reach 1/3 the size of the mother plant.</li>
</ul>
