The substrate with good drainage is suitable for maintaining bromeliads. Peat soil can be mixed with perlite and sand. Place it in a semi-shady environment to prevent exposure to the scorching sun. In summer, it needs to be shaded at least 70%. The demand for water is not very large, so make sure the surface of the potting soil is slightly dry before watering next time. The optimal temperature for its growth is 20-30 degrees Celsius, and fertilizer must be applied.

1. Selection of potting soil

The substrate with good drainage is suitable for maintenance. You can mix peat soil with perlite and sand to maintain the pH value at 5.5-6.5. Base fertilizer can be added appropriately.

2. Semi-shady environment

Obviously, a semi-shady environment is suitable for its growth, and its need for light is not very obvious. In particular, avoid exposure to the scorching sun. Exposure to the scorching sun will cause some of the leaves to turn yellow, and then the tips of the flowers will dry out. In summer, you need to pay special attention to shading at least 70%, otherwise it will easily slow down the growth of the leaves and the flower buds will lose color.

3. Proper moisture

It is easy to maintain and does not require much water. When watering, make sure the surface of the pot soil is slightly dry before watering next time. That is, the surface 1-2 cm of the pot soil is dry. But the amount of water must be controlled well, otherwise the roots will be easily soaked. Normally, some water mist should be sprayed on the surface of the plant, but it cannot replace root watering.

4. Suitable temperature

20-30 degrees Celsius is the best temperature for its growth. The maximum temperature cannot exceed 35 degrees Celsius and the minimum temperature is 14 degrees Celsius. If it is lower than 10 degrees Celsius, you need to pay attention.

5. Fertilizer supply

April to September is the growing season, so apply liquid fertilizer every two weeks.
