Caring Tips:-

1. Lighting: Place in bright, indirect light for optimal growth. Matchstick Bromeliads tolerate lower light levels but flourish in well-lit areas.
2. 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.
3. Fertilizing: Feed with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season.
4. Blooming Period: Enjoy the vibrant bloom during late winter and early spring. Once the flower fades, the plant will produce offsets (pups).
5. Pup Propagation: When pups are 6 inches tall, carefully separate them from the mother plant and replant in a well-draining mix.
