Growing Guide

Position

Place in a bright position with plenty of indirect light. Gentle morning or late afternoon sun is suitable, but avoid prolonged strong midday sunshine through glass.

Watering

Mist regularly or soak the plant in room-temperature water for around 20–30 minutes every one to two weeks, depending on indoor temperature and humidity. Allow excess water to drain completely and let the plant dry before returning it to its glass container. Never leave water sitting in the centre of the rosette.

Air Circulation

Good air movement is essential for healthy growth. Remove the plant from the glass container for watering and allow it to dry thoroughly before replacing it.

Temperature and Humidity

Maintain temperatures between 15–28°C. Average household humidity is suitable, although the plant benefits from slightly higher humidity during warm weather. Protect from frost and cold draughts.

Routine Care

Feed occasionally during spring and summer using a fertiliser formulated for air plants or bromeliads at the recommended dilution. Remove any older leaves naturally as they dry.

Perfect For

• Coffee tables and shelving.
• Home offices.
• Contemporary interiors.
• Terrarium-style displays.
• Gifts for houseplant enthusiasts.
