WATERING & FERTILIZING:
Maintain planting medium on the dry side. Drench soil thoroughly, and allow it to become moderately dry before watering again. Keep water in the foliage-formed cups of the plant at all times. Change water in these "cups" monthly. For varieties that do not form these cups keep the soil moist, but never soggy. Do not allow plant to stand in water. Bromeliads have tiny root systems, so over watering can be fatal. Misting during winter months can prevent brown leaves.
