Thrives in bright indirect light, but can tolerate a few hours of direct sun.
Watering requirements
Water the soil every 1–2 weeks, allowing it to dry out halfway between waterings. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light. Each week, add water to the leaf cups (water tank), the center area created by overlapping leaves. As water cups tend to collect debris and insects, empty out each week and add new water. Bromeliads can be sensitive to hard tap water. Try using filtered water or leaving water out overnight before using.
