• Prefers bright, indirect light

• Can tolerate medium light, but blooms last longer in brighter spots

• Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves

• Water by filling the central cup (the rosette) — this mimics natural rainfall

• Empty and refill the cup weekly to prevent rot

• Keep the potting soil lightly moist but not soggy

• Reduce watering in cooler months

• Thrives in 65–80°F

• Prefers moderate to high humidity

• Can adapt to household humidity levels but benefits from occasional misting

• Keep away from cold drafts and dry air

✅ Generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs
However, ingestion may still cause mild tummy upset in sensitive pets

• Comes in a 6” nursery pot

• Use a well-draining soil mix (orchid bark, perlite, and peat moss blend)

• Bromeliads don’t require frequent repotting — once every 2–3 years or when pups (offsets) crowd the container

• Reaches about 12–18 inches tall and wide, depending on variety

• Grows from a central rosette with a single long-lasting flower spike

• After blooming, the main plant will slowly die back while producing pups

• Blooms can last several weeks to a few months

• Each plant blooms once in its lifetime

• Remove faded blooms with clean scissors

• Let the pups grow — they can eventually be separated and repotted

• Moderate growth

• Faster growth in warm, humid environments

• Minimal pruning required

• Remove dead leaves and spent blooms as needed

• Trim pups only when they’ve grown large enough to pot up (about ⅓ the size of the parent plant)

• Slight slowdown in growth during cooler months

• Reduce watering and avoid fertilizing in winter

• Keep warm and protect from drafts
