Features
Foliage: The Bromeliads glossy, strap-like leaves form a tight rosette, creating a reservoir in the centre known as the "vase" This central cup serves as both a decorative element and a water reservoir for the plant.

Care Requirements:
Light: Thriving in bright, indirect light, they prefer filtered sunlight or partial shade. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight, as this can scorch the delicate leaves.
Water: Maintain a consistent level of moisture in the central cup without overfilling. You may use distilled or rainwater to prevent mineral buildup. Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged, and ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot.
Temperature: They thrive in warm temperatures ranging between 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C). Protect the plant from drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations.
Humidity: These tropical plants appreciate higher humidity levels. If the air in your home is dry, consider misting the plant or placing a humidity tray nearby.
