Care Guide:

• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. Can tolerate some direct morning or evening sun but avoid harsh midday rays. Suitable for well-lit indoor spaces or shaded outdoor areas.
• Water: Mist the plant 2–3 times per week with non-chlorinated water, ensuring it dries within a few hours. Alternatively, soak it in water for 20–30 minutes every 1–2 weeks. Shake off excess water to prevent rot.
• Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity (50–70%). If your environment is dry, mist more frequently or place the plant near a humidifier.
• Temperature: Ideal temperatures range between 20–28°C.
• Airflow: Good air circulation is essential for healthy growth. Place the plant in a well-ventilated area.
• Fertilizer: Use a diluted air plant fertilizer or bromeliad fertilizer once a month to encourage vibrant growth and blooming.
• Placement: Display in creative arrangements such as terrariums, mounted on wood, or hung from wire or string. Avoid planting it in soil.
