Points of interest and size

Care guide
- Light: Give bright indirect light or gentle morning sun. Introduce direct light gradually; protect from scorching afternoon sun. Brighter suitable light may encourage pink coloration.
- Water: Use room-temperature water. Keep a little fresh water in the central leaf cup during warm active growth, replacing and flushing it regularly rather than letting it stagnate. Water the potting mix when it begins to dry; drain thoroughly and do not leave the pot standing in water. In cool, dim conditions, reduce water in both cup and mix.
- Soil: Use a loose, fast-draining bromeliad or orchid-bark blend in a pot with drainage. If using our Rich Houseplant Soil Blend, hand-blended in small batches and sold separately, amend with orchid bark and perlite as needed to create an airy, fast-draining bromeliad mix; avoid dense, soggy soil.
- Humidity and temperature: Moderate indoor humidity and warm temperatures suit it. Avoid cold drafts and freezing conditions; outdoor placement is for warm, sheltered weather.
- Feeding: Feed sparingly during active spring and summer growth with a fertilizer labeled as suitable for bromeliads, following its label directions. Our 2 oz Slow-Release Fertilizer for Houseplants & Succulents is sold separately; use only if its label supports bromeliad use, and apply to the potting medium, not the central cup. Avoid fertilizer buildup in the cup. Reduce or pause feeding in winter, during inactivity, or during extreme heat or cold.
- Pruning: Remove dry or damaged leaves with clean scissors. After a mature rosette flowers, it slowly declines while pups can grow at its base.
- Repotting: Refresh the airy mix when it breaks down or offsets crowd the pot; avoid burying the center of the rosette.
- Propagation: Separate an offset once it is well developed and has roots, then pot it in a small draining container. New offsets are not guaranteed at shipment.
Pet safety
