Caring Tips:-
- Lighting: Place in bright, indirect light for optimal growth. Matchstick Bromeliads tolerate lower light levels but flourish in well-lit areas.
- Watering: Keep the central rosette filled with water, and water the soil sparingly. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged roots. Allow the top inch of soil to dry between waterings.
- Fertilizing: Feed with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season.
- Blooming Period: Enjoy the vibrant bloom during late winter and early spring. Once the flower fades, the plant will produce offsets (pups).
- Pup Propagation: When pups are 6 inches tall, carefully separate them from the mother plant and replant in a well-draining mix.
