Watering Instructions ▾
Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry. Keep soil slightly moist but never soggy. Water into the central rosette and the soil, especially in warmer months.
Care Tips ▾
Soil: Prefers well-draining soil—use a cactus or bromeliad mix or amend potting soil with sand or perlite.
Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer. Reduce feeding in fall and winter.
Humidity: Likes moderate to high humidity. Mist occasionally or use a humidity tray if air is dry, especially in winter.
