Plant Care Guide

Light: Place in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight may scorch the leaves, though it can tolerate lower light levels with reduced flowering.

Water: Fill the central cup with water and change it regularly. Keep the soil slightly moist but avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.

Soil: Use a well-draining, lightweight soil mix, like cactus or orchid mix, to ensure proper water drainage.

Fertilising: Feed with a balanced fertiliser. Avoid overfeeding, as Guzmanias are sensitive to excess nutrients.

Common Pests: Watch for mealybugs and aphids. Treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil if necessary.

General Care: Guzmanias are low-maintenance. Remove dead leaves after flowering. New shoots (pups) will grow after the main plant blooms.

Lighting: Bright Filtered Light
Watering: Water Moderately
Watering Frequency: When top layer of soil is dry

Root rot: This can occur if the soil is kept too wet or if the plant is overwatered. Symptoms include wilting, yellowing leaves, and a foul odor from the soil. To prevent this, make sure to use well-draining soil and avoid overwatering..
