    Care Tips

    As a xeric Tillandsia, it prefers bright direct sunlight and good air circulation. Water by misting or brief soaking 1–2 times per week in summer, less frequently in winter. Ensure the plant dries completely within a few hours after watering to prevent rot. Avoid prolonged moisture at the base of the rosette.
