Plant Care Suggested Instructions:
 **Light**: Prefers bright, indirect light. Can tolerate some direct sunlight but avoid prolonged exposure to prevent leaf burn. In lower light conditions, the leaf colors may be less vibrant.
**Watering**: Keep the central cup (tank) filled with water, changing it regularly to prevent stagnation. Water the soil lightly, ensuring it remains moist but well-draining. Reduce watering during cooler months.
**Humidity**: Thrives in high humidity environments. Increase humidity by misting the plant regularly, using a humidifier, or placing it on a pebble tray with water.
 **Temperature**: Prefers temperatures between 60°F to 80°F (16°C to 27°C). Protect from temperatures below 50°F (10°C) to prevent damage.
 **Soil**: Use a well-draining bromeliad mix, such as a combination of peat, perlite, and orchid bark. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.
**Fertilization**: Feed with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer). Apply fertilizer to the soil rather than the central cup to avoid damaging the leaves.
**Pruning**: Remove any dead or damaged leaves to maintain the plant’s appearance. Trim spent flowers to encourage new growth and maintain a tidy rosette.
 **Potting**: If growing in a container, ensure the pot has good drainage. Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows its container, using fresh bromeliad mix soil.
**Pests and Diseases**: Monitor for pests such as aphids, scale, and mealybugs. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases.
