PLANT CARE:
Bromeliads tolerate a broad spectrum of light but are best kept away from full sun. They prefer warm temperatures but will tolerate temperatures down to 15 degrees celcius. As ephiphtyes they are relatively drought tolerant which has made them a popular landscape plant in arid climates. Water inside the rosette and feed monthly during the summer with a balanced liquid fertiliser into the rosette. Always ensure the rosette has water. Repot offsets in the spring.
