How to Care for the Plant
Water
They should be watered regularly especially during summer months, keep dry in winter.
Fertilizer
Fertilization is erratic and on the light side – just enough to keep it slowly increasing in size but not enough to require frequent repotting.
Sunlight
Grow it like succulents in in full sun to light shade
Soil
well drained soil.
Temperature
It is probably one of the cold hardiest of the bromeliads, but detesting winter wet on its foliage, proves difficult to keep outside.
