Water: Keep the central cup (rosette) topped up with fresh water, changing it regularly. Water the compost sparingly to avoid rot.
Soil/Nutrition: Use a free-draining, airy bromeliad compost. Feed monthly in spring and summer with a diluted liquid fertiliser.
Humidity: Thrives in high humidity; mist regularly or place near a humidifier.
Pruning and propagation: Remove faded bracts and leaves to keep the plant tidy. Propagate by separating offsets (pups) that develop around the base.
