    Care Tips

    As a xeric Tillandsia, bright light and good air circulation are essential. Water by misting or brief soaking 1–2 times per week in warmer months and reduce frequency in cooler months, ensuring the plant dries completely within a few hours after watering. Avoid prolonged moisture at the leaf bases to prevent rot. It tolerates short periods of drought.
